Maria Co Andersen is committed to diversity and inclusion as a guiding business principle.
We aim to be an inclusive business that respects the needs of each individual, ensures people are treated equally, encourages diversity, and makes certain that nobody is disadvantaged. Our priority is that equality and diversity are upheld in all aspects of the business, demonstrated in the way we treat clients, suppliers, business associates, and visitors.

Race (including ethnic origin, colour, nationality, and national origin)
Religion or belief
Disability
Age
Gender or gender reassignment
Sex or sexual orientation
Pregnancy or maternity
Marriage or civil partnership
No form of intimidation, bullying, or harassment will be tolerated. We stand against all forms of:
Direct discrimination
Indirect discrimination
Victimisation
Harassment
We encourage any concerns to be communicated to Maria Andersen via direct@mariacoandersen.com. All concerns will be treated confidentially and investigated promptly.
All individuals or companies representing the business or operating on its behalf are expected to comply with this policy. This includes expressions of views on social media or in any circumstances that may affect our reputation. Our commitment to diversity and inclusion is central to our work.
We will select suppliers and partners based on suitability and ability, without discriminating against any presence or absence of a protected characteristic.
We are committed to operating in an environment that promotes dignity, equality, and respect for all, and we will monitor our practices to ensure they consistently align with this policy.
Our Purpose
We actively promote a culture that values differences and recognises the insights people from diverse backgrounds bring. Diversity means celebrating and respecting our differences, and valuing everyone.
We are committed to breaking down barriers, eliminating discrimination, and ensuring equal opportunities and access throughout our business operations and services. We believe everyone has a part to play in preventing discrimination and promoting diversity and equality in society.
