In July The Copenhagen Centre produced a report focusing on the issue of diversity and ethnic minority integration in the European workplace. The report Ethnic Minority Employment Through Partnership 39 looked at four European countries (France, Germany, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom) and identified how new PPPs are helping employ greater numbers of ethnic minorities. By focusing on sixteen case studies that provide evidence of each country's "best practices", this report flags up the benefits gained by all stakeholders. It also highlights the multifarious initiatives that have come out of such partnerships. One example is HSBC's "Removing Barriers: Building Bridges" project that has been working to address the local population's high unemployment numbers by providing training and recruitment to the unemployed. HSBC's UK Head office is located in the London Borough of Tower Hamlets, one of the most deprived areas in the UK, which also contains a high Asian population. The report suggests that, so far, the project has been successful. Since it's birth, over 60% of those who have attended the programme have secured employment, and two people have become HSBC employees. 40 This initiative has also been rewarded by the Windrush Achievement Awards who in June short-listed the bank for the award, based on its positive and constructive work with ethnic minorities. 41 This is welcome news amidst reports of growing xenophobia, racism and anti-Semitism. 42
