The EDI SG Board
The former Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) Board has been renamed the Equity Diversity Inclusion Sustainability and Governance (EDI SG) Board, with an expanded mandate that includes ESG reporting, environmental sustainability, and modern slavery. Equity, Diversity and Inclusion remains a core focus, as reflected in the board’s name. The Board ensures that the EDI and ESG principles are integrated into the university's strategic objectives and operational activities. The Board provides assurance on the status and progress of EDI and ESG initiatives and recommends reports, informed by the ESG Technical Statutory Reporting Advisory Group where statutory in nature, to Council and its committees.
