“As an organisation we believe that bringing people together and creating an environment that is richly diverse with people from different backgrounds, opinions, abilities and experiences enables us to become a dynamic and future-ready business. This is what we see as the core foundation of building a truly innovation lead culture.”
Niclas Sanfridsson - CEO
Creating a workplace where everyone can flourish, feel comfortable, and strive for success is critical for us as a organisation. Enabling and encouraging our employees to connect and engage with each other on topics that matter to them drives us and gives us our foundation for success. Fostering an environment that allows everybody’s experience and knowledge to come together to create a space where people thrive enables us to come up with tangible, creative solutions for our customers.
For an organisation to promote an innovation culture it needs to promote diversity of thought aswell as an inclusive culture. Opening greater talent pools, encouraging higher levels of engagement and creativity, and creating an environment where employees are excited to work creates a renewed purpose and customer focus. Empowered employees bring out the best in themselves and create positive customer experiences, establishing strong relationships for the future.

DAN is an employee network at Colt and was established with the aim to raise awareness of visible and invisible disabilities and health conditions, embrace people's differences and champion inclusion across Colt.
“Diversity and inclusion are more than just words to us. They’re the hard-and-fast principles guiding how we think about our people. How we build our teams, cultivate leaders, and create a company that’s the right fit for every person inside of it. As a global, multicultural Data Centre company—we want to reflect that inside every office, site and interaction.”
