DEI Committee

The DEI committee was formed in 2021 with a focus on promoting Diversity, Equity and Inclusion across the commercial real estate finance industry.

The Committee's principal areas of focus are to: 

• Support the careers of professionals from under-represented groups in our industry, including developing suitable mentoring and networking schemes. 
• Provide a forum for our member firms to compare notes and share experiences, making it easier for good practice to spread and mistakes not to be repeated. 
• Help to attract a broader range of people from under-represented groups into our industry from schools and universities, including by collaborating with other relevant organisations. 

Our mission is supported by several focused committees, each dedicated to a specific area and composed of representatives from a diverse range of member firms.

• Ethnicity Network
• Mental Health & Wellbeing  
• Women’s Network
• YPREF (Young Professionals in Real Estate Finance)
