Diversity and Inclusion

D&I at Arch

The people at Arch are the centre of everything we do. We are committed to building teams as diverse as the customers we serve, fostering an inclusive and collaborative culture where everyone can thrive, and providing employees with the tools and opportunities to grow as individuals and as professionals.

Inclusive Leadership

We recognise the importance of building teams that are diverse, collaborative and innovative. More than 400 of our employees have participated in a comprehensive “Fostering Inclusive Leadership” course provided by the Yale School of Management, which encourages our employees to actively seek out and appreciate diverse perspectives to drive innovation, new ideas and progress.
