Diversity, Equity, Inclusion & Belonging

Our community volunteer and fundraising network is called Custom Care.

Custom Care’s mission is unleashing the power of compassion, one act at a time.

We seek to regenerate hope and connection by taking action to care for those who are vulnerable in our community.

At Custom Fleet, we truly believe that the privilege of being part of many communities around Australia comes with the responsibility to help those who are most in need.

We envision a world where compassion knows no boundaries - a world where every person is valued, uplifted, and supported.

As part of this vision, we actively partner with several key not-for-profit organisations and encourage our employees to spend time volunteering and giving back to our communities.

As part of Element Fleet Management, both our global Executive Team and our ANZ Leadership Team are deeply committed to driving equal pay and eliminating our Gender Pay Gap (GPG).

We're actively supporting our incredible crew of women to develop their leadership skills through our Green Light program – Custom Fleet’s emerging leadership program for women. This program kicked off in 2023 and we are continuing to support and enhance the program in 2024 and beyond.

Other important initiatives we’ve implemented to progress gender equality are outlined in our 2023 Gender Pay Gap Report Employer Statement, including our commitment to achieve WGEA’s Employer of Choice for Gender Equality citation.

To us, the privilege of being part of many communities across Australia and New Zealand comes with the responsibility to help those who are in need.

Through Custom Care (our charity fundraising and volunteering program) and Intersection (our Diversity & Inclusion network), we support many not-for profit organisations chosen by our employees.

These include Indigenous and Torres Strait Islander inclusion, disadvantaged youth, animal welfare, homelessness, and cancer support.

We also encourage our employees to spend one day each year volunteering with our community partners and offer volunteer leave for each of our employees to give back.

Our DEIB Strategy and Policy sets us apart as an employer of choice for diverse talent.

We are passionate about creating equitable job opportunities for Māori and Pasifika youth through our partnership with First Foundation.

We’re continually improving our people practices. This includes our Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP) and delivering on progressive initiatives outlined in the Australian Workplace Equality Index (AWEI) and Workplace Gender Equality Agency (WGEA).

We are proud members of Pride in Diversity, Diversity Council Australia, Rainbow Tick NZ, and Supply Nation.

In March 2024, Custom Fleet was officially endorsed by WORK180 as an organisation committed to supporting women’s careers. Check out our profile on the WORK180 website.

In May 2024, Custom Fleet was awarded Gold Level Certification as part of the Australian Workplace Equality Index (AWEI) LGBTQ Inclusion Awards.
