Auto Trader has been named number 11 in the 2023 Inclusive Top 50 UK Employers List (IT50) which was officially revealed at the Inclusive Awards on December 5, 2023. Compiled by Inclusive Companies, the IT50 acknowledges and ranks businesses which are most consistent throughout the whole of their organisation and encompass all types of diversity.

Now in its eighth year, the Inclusive Top 50 UK Employers List is the definitive cross-industry index harnessing both best practice and innovation with the goal of driving inclusion for all. It comprises the 50 most inclusive companies in the UK as chosen by a dedicated panel of judges, based on each organisation’s performance across all strands of diversity - gender, disability, age, LGBTQ+, race, faith and religion.

The depth and manner of assessment which results in the IT50 List requires organisations to show consistent and sustainable activity.

Helen Robinson, Diversity and Inclusion Manager at Auto Trader commented:

"We are so pleased with our place in the 2023 Inclusive Top 50 Employers list, it’s a testament to all the hard work being done by the Auto Trader team. Having jumped 10 places since last year, we are proud of the progress we have made, but know there is always more we can do and we look forward to making even more of a difference next year."

Paul Sesay, Founder and CEO of Inclusive Companies commented:

“Our judging panel is looking for cultural change rather than the ‘peaks and troughs’ often seen by well-meaning organisations whose EDI activities are actions are in response to national or world events making the news.

"We work closely with organisations to create cultural transformation that ensures diversity and inclusion are embedded into everything they practice and the IT50 recognises those employers who are getting this right.”
