The Element Materials Technology Group is one of the world’s leading global providers of testing, inspection, and certification services for a diverse range of products, materials, and technologies in advanced industrial supply chains where failure in use is not an option.
Headquartered in London, UK, Element’s c.9,000 scientists, engineers, and technologists, work across a global network of over 270+ laboratories, support customers from early R&D, through complex regulatory approvals, and into production ensuring their products are safe and sustainable and achieve market access.
At Element, we are committed to attracting, retaining, and advancing women in STEM. To support this, we have implemented policies that ensure balanced candidate slates and interview panels, fostering a fair and inclusive hiring process.
To create a strong sense of community, we established the Women’s Colleague Resource Network (CRN)—a dedicated space for women to connect, share experiences, and access networking and development opportunities.
In addition, we have developed the Women’s Accelerator Program, which supports career growth and progression for women within Element. Over the past two years, this initiative has played a crucial role in developing our talent pipeline and improving retention.
As part of our commitment to transparency and equity, we also publish an annual Gender Pay Gap Report. This report provides insights into pay disparities, highlights the progress we’ve made, and outlines the steps we are taking to close the gap. By openly addressing these issues, we reinforce our dedication to fostering a workplace where everyone is valued and rewarded fairly.
“Our partnership with WISE is an important step in our commitment to driving meaningful change for women in STEM.
Through WISE campaigns, case studies, and networking events, we aim to create more opportunities for our women while also broadening our access to diverse talent.”
