Charter for Inclusive Entrepreneurship

This prestigious recognition underscores our commitment to fostering an entrepreneurial ecosystem that embraces diversity and inclusivity. We take great pride in this achievement, as it reflects our dedication to providing opportunities for individuals from all backgrounds and communities to thrive in the entrepreneurial landscape.

Entrepreneurship plays a crucial role in fostering innovation, job generation, and economic expansion. Moreover, it serves as a catalyst for social inclusion by providing individuals with the chance to establish employment opportunities for themselves and their communities. In doing so, it contributes to both social and environmental innovation and impact.

Certain social groups, including women, ethnic minorities, young individuals, migrants, and those with disabilities, encounter unique obstacles hindering their entrepreneurial pursuits. In pursuit of addressing these challenges, inclusive entrepreneurship seeks to diminish barriers and improve outcomes for all, particularly those belonging to under-represented groups. This involves the implementation of tailored policy initiatives, the adoption of inclusive practices, and collaborative efforts to create a more equitable entrepreneurial landscape.

This charter not only signifies Swansea School of Management’s accomplishments but also serves as a testament to our ongoing efforts to create an inclusive environment that promotes innovation, empowers under-represented groups, and contributes to the overall betterment of our community and the wider Swansea Bay Area.
