Diversity, Equality & Inclusion Policy
Royalty Access Studio DAC
20 June 2025
Introduction
At Royalty Access Studio DAC, we believe that diversity, equality and inclusion (DEI) are essential to building a fair, creative and sustainable business. We are committed to fostering a culture that values difference, promotes equal opportunity, and ensures that everyone we work with feels respected, supported and empowered.
Our Commitment
RAS is committed to:
-
Promoting diversity in all its forms – including but not limited to race, ethnicity, gender, age, disability, sexual orientation, religion, socio-economic background, and neurodiversity.
-
Ensuring equality of opportunity for all staff, partners, and clients, with transparent and fair practices at every stage of our work.
-
Creating an inclusive environment where everyone feels they belong and can thrive – regardless of their background or identity.
Our Practices
To put our values into action, we:
-
Recruit and work with people based on merit, potential and integrity, not prejudice or bias.
-
Foster respectful communication and zero tolerance for discrimination, harassment or exclusion.
-
Regularly review our internal practices, partnerships and client engagement processes to ensure they reflect our DEI values.
-
Support flexible working arrangements, accessible venues, plain‑language communication and assistive technology to accommodate different needs and circumstances.
-
Welcome feedback from our partners, clients and team members to help us continuously improve.
Working with Others
We expect the same commitment to diversity, equality and inclusion from those we work with – whether artists, intermediaries, investors or industry partners. We believe that better decisions are made, and greater creativity and trust are built, when diverse voices are not just present, but valued.
Accountability
Our directors are responsible for ensuring this policy is upheld in all aspects of our operations. We are transparent about our efforts and open to dialogue about how we can do better. We invite staff, artists and clients to challenge us publicly or privately if they see us falling short; anonymous feedback channels remain open at all times.
Conclusion
At RAS, we’re not just in the business of supporting artists – we’re building a platform where everyone has access, everyone is welcome, and everyone is treated with fairness and dignity. Diversity and inclusion aren’t just values for us – they’re how we do business. Our success will be measured by whether everyone who works with us can say, without hesitation, "I belong here."
