BSM is a company with diverse teams that value equity, respect, and honesty. For years we have worked with our employees to create an environment of collaboration and understanding, irrespective of ethnicity, social class, age, sexuality, disability, or gender.

EfI groups organise activities to create awareness, build cultural competencies, promote external relationships with local communities, and support relevant projects across the company.
