Revision History

1. Purpose

LA London Architects LLP is committed to providing fair, equitable, and transparent working conditions for all members of the practice. This policy sets out how pay and benefits are determined, how fairness is safeguarded, and how employees are informed about the processes that affect their remuneration.

This policy supports our commitment to responsible employment practices and aligns with the principles of the B Corp Fair Work framework.

2. Scope

This policy applies to all individuals working within LA London Architects LLP, including partners, employees, and fixed-term staff.

3. Principles of Fair Work

We are guided by the following principles:

• Fair and equitable pay for comparable roles and responsibilities
• Transparency about how pay and benefits are determined
• Consistency and parity across the team, while recognising individual contribution
• Compliance with all applicable employment and equality legislation
• Commitment to continuous improvement in pay equity and fairness

4. Our commitment to Justice, Equity, Diversity and Inclusion

At LA London, we are committed to operating in a just, equitable, diverse and inclusive manner. This commitment extends beyond our own workplace to the clients we serve, the consultants, contractors and suppliers we work alongside, the people who use the places we design, and the wider communities affected by our work.

We seek to embed these principles in our policies, practices and decision-making across three areas:

1. Our people and workplace

We believe that exceptional work is only possible when people are treated fairly, supported properly, and trusted to grow.

We are therefore committed to providing a fair, inclusive and supportive workplace in which people are treated with dignity and respect, have equitable access to opportunities, and are able to contribute and progress irrespective of their background or personal characteristics.

Our commitment to fair work includes:

• Providing fair and competitive pay that reflects experience, responsibility, contribution, and professional development.
• Promoting transparency around pay, benefits, progression pathways, and workplace expectations wherever reasonably practicable.
• Supporting equal opportunity and fair treatment for all employees, regardless of background, identity, or circumstance.
• Maintaining a safe, respectful, and inclusive working environment in which individuals feel valued and heard.
• Encouraging professional growth through mentorship, training, knowledge sharing, and meaningful career development opportunities.
• Supporting employee wellbeing through balanced and sustainable working practices wherever possible.
• Listening to feedback and continuously improving our policies, processes, and workplace culture over time.
• Acting with integrity and accountability in the way we lead, collaborate, recruit, and manage our teams.

We understand that fair work extends beyond compliance. It is about creating an environment where people can do their best work, develop fulfilling careers, and contribute meaningfully to a shared purpose.

This commitment is evidenced by this detailed Fair Work, Pay & Benefits Transparency Policy, which outlines the principles, procedures, and standards through which these commitments are implemented across the practice.

2. Our clients and business relationships

We are committed to treating clients, collaborators, consultants, contractors and suppliers fairly and respectfully. We seek to remove unnecessary barriers to participation, communicate inclusively, and consider justice, equity, diversity and inclusion when making decisions about how we procure services, form project teams and conduct our business relationships.

3. Our projects and communities

As architects, our decisions can affect people well beyond our immediate clients. We therefore seek to design places that are accessible, inclusive and responsive to the needs of diverse users. Where our work affects wider communities and stakeholders, we aim to listen to different perspectives, consider those who may be less able to influence decisions, and avoid creating or reinforcing unnecessary barriers or inequalities through our work.
