Commitment to Equality

Ulytix Ltd is committed to creating a working environment where people are treated fairly and with respect, regardless of gender.

We believe that organisations work best when people with different perspectives and experiences are able to contribute. Equality and inclusion are therefore important not only for fairness, but also for good decision-making, innovation, and long-term success.

As a small and growing company working across industry, research, and collaborative programmes, we aim to ensure that everyone who works with us has equal opportunity to participate, contribute, and develop.

This document sets out the principles and practices we follow to support gender equality.

Scope

This plan applies to:

• Employees of Ulytix Ltd
• Contractors and associates working with the company
• Individuals participating in collaborative projects led or coordinated by Ulytix Ltd

We expect those working with us to respect the same principles of fairness and inclusion that we apply within the company.

Fair Recruitment and Opportunity

Ulytix Ltd is committed to fair recruitment and selection practices.

When recruiting or selecting individuals to work with us, we aim to:

• use clear and inclusive language in recruitment communications
• assess candidates based on skills, experience, and potential
• encourage applications from a wide range of backgrounds
• make decisions based on objective criteria

Where possible, recruitment decisions will involve more than one person to help ensure fairness.

Pay and Recognition

Ulytix Ltd is committed to fair and equitable pay practices.

Remuneration and rewards are determined based on:

• the responsibilities of the role
• the skills and experience required
• the contribution made by the individual

As the company grows, we will periodically review our pay practices to ensure they remain fair and consistent.

Career Development

We believe that individuals should have equal access to opportunities for learning and development.

Ulytix Ltd supports this by:

• encouraging professional development and training
• supporting participation in projects and collaborative initiatives
• providing opportunities for individuals to develop leadership capabilities

Decisions relating to progression and responsibility will be based on capability, contribution, and potential.

Respectful and Inclusive Working Environment

Ulytix Ltd aims to maintain a professional working environment where everyone is treated with respect.

Discrimination, harassment, or inappropriate behaviour will not be tolerated.

Individuals working with the company are expected to contribute to a respectful culture where people feel comfortable raising ideas, concerns, or feedback.

Where issues arise, they will be addressed appropriately and fairly.

Flexible Working

Where practical and consistent with business needs, Ulytix Ltd supports flexible working arrangements that help individuals balance professional and personal responsibilities.

This may include flexible schedules, remote working arrangements, or other practical adjustments where appropriate.

Resources and Responsibility

As a small organisation, responsibility for implementing and monitoring this Gender Equality Plan sits with the Managing Director.

The Managing Director will ensure that the principles described in this document are considered when making decisions about recruitment, collaboration, and organisational practices.

As the organisation grows, additional structures or resources may be introduced to support equality and inclusion.

Awareness and Good Practice

Ulytix Ltd recognises that awareness and understanding play an important role in promoting equality.

Where appropriate, the company will promote awareness of gender equality and unconscious bias through:

• sharing relevant guidance and resources
• participating in training or awareness activities where useful
• encouraging fair and balanced decision-making

These practices apply to both staff and individuals involved in decision-making roles.

Monitoring and Review

Ulytix Ltd will periodically review equality practices within the organisation.

Where relevant, we may monitor information such as:

• workforce composition by gender
• recruitment outcomes
• participation in development opportunities
• representation in leadership or decision-making roles

This information will help ensure that the company continues to operate in a fair and inclusive way.

This Gender Equality Plan will be reviewed periodically and updated as the organisation develops.
