Inclusion and diversity
We are committed to promoting
an inclusive workplace, where all
people feel respected and valued,
and embracing the benefits of diversity.
To achieve this, we con琀椀nue to operate under the guidance of our
Inclusion & Diversity Policy. We set meaningful and measurable
inclusion and diversity objec琀椀ves, and we assess and publicly
report our progress against them. In addi琀椀on, we uphold a policy
of non-discrimina琀椀on in all aspects of employment, irrespec琀椀ve
of race, religion, disability, gender, gender iden琀椀ty, pregnancy,
childcare responsibili琀椀es, sexual orienta琀椀on, or age.
In 2023, we conducted a barrier assessment, focusing on
advancing inclusion and diversity: enhance female par琀椀cipa琀椀on
in the workforce; increase female representa琀椀on in leadership
roles; and improve cultural competency. This ini琀椀a琀椀ve has
led to completed ac琀椀ons and remains an ongoing priority,
with con琀椀nued discussion via our workforce-led InDiVisible
working group.
