ClubLFC and The Red Way win two Includability Awards
Liverpool FC and The Red Way have been recognised with two Includability Awards for its positive workplace environment and work championing inclusivity in all that it does.
The club was named Committed Employer of The Year, acknowledging its strides to provide an inclusive, sustainable and mentally healthy workplace, as well as Leadership and Governance Star for its excellence in leadership in making a positive impact for business.
The leading work forms part of The Red Way, the club’s ongoing commitment to helping build a better future for its people, its planet and its communities.
The Includability Awards are presented by Includability, a global network of businesses, organisations and individuals committed to creating an inclusive workplace culture.
LFC was honoured with these two awards following its recognition as an Includability Committed Employer last year. To receive this status, the club completed a five-star verification process, demonstrating its practices aligned with established definitions of an ‘inclusive workplace’, including integrating fairness into the club’s culture and at each stage of its recruitment processes.
Achieving Includability Committed Employer status has given LFC access to a growing network of purpose-led organisations that aim to create a new standard for how the recruitment sector should deliver through engagement, collaboration and regularly sharing best practice.
David Holby-Wolinski, director at Includability, said: “I’d like to congratulate Liverpool Football Club for their outstanding achievements in leadership, governance, and their commitment to inclusivity, sustainability and mental wellbeing in the workplace.

“Having our work recognised is always positive and we are proud of the strides we are making and our continued journey to improvement through our sustainability strategy The Red Way, which encompasses all the club’s work to help build a better future for its people, its planet and its communities.”
