The Equality of Opportunity Coalition is a band of organisations that are a part of the Purpose Coalition and have committed to going further faster by measuring their socio-economic diversity, co-chaired by former Secretary of State Rt Hon Justine Greening, Professor Steve West CBE, Vice-Chancellor of UWE Bristol and President of Universities UK and Steven Cooper CBE, Chief Executive Officer of Aldermore Group.

Employers making up the Equality of Opportunity Coalition are now working together with Justine to develop socio-economic measures and reporting. Measuring the socio-economic background of employees and potential recruits helps organisations better understand what needs to be done in order to improve their socio-economic diversity and identify progression challenges.
