Our behaviours

1. We are contributors

We share our knowledge, insights and experience to make us better together. We play our part collectively and as individuals by delivering on our commitments and being accountable for our actions.

2. We are collaborators

We trust and proactively work together with our colleagues and clients globally. We actively listen and recognise everyone’s contribution. We operate as one connected team – where everyone feels included, valued, and respected.

3. We are curious

We listen, seek to understand, and constructively ask questions for a better outcome. We go beyond ‘what we always do’ towards everyday innovation, where we challenge the status quo to redefine the boundaries of ambition.

4. We are champions

We are an inclusive community driven by our common Mace purpose. We champion each other and actively seek different perspectives to find a better way.

Equality, diversity and inclusion

Our culture respects equality, values diversity and encourages individuality – accepting and appreciating all views and beliefs and providing an environment for ideas to come alive. We welcome everyone who shares the Mace values, regardless of background, culture, disability, ethnicity, gender identity or sexual orientation.

Drawing on a broad range of backgrounds, perspectives, experience and expertise to challenge convention is our strength. It’s the reason why we continue to grow and it’s the secret to how we’ve built some of the world’s most renowned buildings.

Our employee resource groups, such as Women at Mace, Pride at Mace, Parents at Mace, Ethnic Diversity at Mace, Enabled at Mace, and Military at Mace are transforming the way we work through shared experiences - creating awareness, knowledge, and education.

We're proud to be an accredited Disability Confident employer, as well as a champion of the Hidden Disabilities Sunflower scheme. We're also ranked 37th in the Stonewall Workplace Equality Index, and a signatory to the Care Leaver Covenant and the Business in the Community's Race At Work Charter.
