Sopra Steria: Driving change across Defence

At Sopra Steria, we are proud to partner with Women in Defence UK and actively support its ambition to accelerate gender equity across the defence sector.

A more inclusive workforce is not simply an aspiration; it is fundamental to better decision-making, stronger outcomes, and long-term resilience across the sector. We recognise that meaningful progress requires sustained commitment. Through our partnership, we are focused on creating an environment where women can thrive at every stage of their careers, supported by inclusive leadership, equitable opportunities, and clear pathways to progression. This includes investing in early careers, strengthening leadership pipelines, and ensuring that inclusion is embedded within the culture of our organisation.

Collaboration across industry, government, and the armed forces will be critical to achieving lasting change. Women in Defence UK plays a vital role in bringing together organisations to challenge thinking, share best practice, and inspire action. We are proud to be part of this community and to contribute to the collective effort to drive progress.

While we are encouraged by the progress made across the sector, we recognise that there is more to do. By continuing to work together, we can help build a defence enterprise that better reflects the society it serves, one where talent is recognised, barriers are removed, and everyone has the opportunity to succeed.
