The Cultural Governance Alliance (CGA) launches a new EDI Benchmarking Tool for your board.
Clore Leadership in partnership with The Cultural Governance Alliance (CGA) are excited to announce the launch of a new governance EDI Benchmarking Tool. We’re committed to helping organisations embed equity, diversity, and inclusion (EDI) into their governance practices and have developed a practical tool to help you move from intention to impact and create tangible change. The tool has been developed in collaboration with Clore Leadership Governance Associate, Keith Arrowsmith.
The tool’s development and launch has been supported by Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation and Esmee Fairbairn Foundation.
I found the (benchmarking tool) exercise valuable for identifying areas for improvement and board effectiveness.

Benchmarks are invaluable governance tools that provide quantitative measures to track progress, identify opportunities, and set strategic direction. Our EDI Benchmarking Tool is designed to help your board review its performance and set goals relating to EDI policies and processes.
While a one-size-fits-all approach isn’t suitable for EDI, good governance supports transparency and consistency. This particular tool will help you assess whether your governance arrangements actively encourage a diverse board, rather than directly measuring your organisation’s current diversity.
After undertaking initial benchmarking, the tool will provide a score across different aspects of EDI in your governance, along with insights and free resources to help you work on the areas you’re seeking to improve. To support accountability, you will then be invited to revisit the tool to reassess progress on a timeline that suits your organisation.
I especially liked the final aspect of the benchmarking as I could actually see how this could be applied in our organisation and with the work across the EDI strategy and policy straight away working across all levels.
