Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action. We're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do. There aren't currently any laws requiring companies to have D&I policies. You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do, such as requiring all companies to have comprehensive D&I policies.

Background
In recent months, we have observed a troubling trend where US-based firms with a large presence in London and the wider UK are rolling back or significantly scaling back their diversity and inclusion (D&I) programs. This shift in corporate policy follows recent executive orders issued by US President Donald Trump. If US-based companies are allowed to disregard these values and take advantage of the political climate in their home country, it could set a dangerous precedent for UK workplaces.
