We’re a business with purpose. We show up for each other, our communities and the environment.

We use our platform to push for positive change. We’re always listening and we’re always learning.

We understand our business has a real impact on the markets we serve. We create opportunities for businesses and people to succeed. But for success to happen, we need to ensure we’re upholding our commitments to diversity & inclusion.

What we stand for

Always listening. Always learning.

Progress isn’t instant, and we may not always get it right. We know change requires long-term commitment and we’re always seeking opportunity to learn and to listen.

It's okay not to be okay.

We want our culture to be a place where everyone feels like they can be open if they’re not okay. And get the support they need, without judgment.

Our workplace is for everyone.

We believe different and diverse perspectives can create fresh opportunities. We’re committed to ensuring our attraction, engagement and retention strategies are upheld by D&I.

Actions, not just words.

We all have the best intentions, but for us, that isn't enough. We've put a global strategy into action to foster a diverse and inclusive culture, that prioritises health and well-being.

All year long.

We don’t think of our impact initiatives as single days, weeks, or months on the calendar. Whilst awareness days give us an opportunity to shine a spotlight on the causes close to our hearts, we provide the tools and resources that allow our teams to make progress all year long.

It’s our responsibility

As we grow, so too does our responsibility to the communities we serve and our environment.

Our Group CSR Committee has put a global strategy into action to raise awareness and contribute positively.

Each year we select a different charity partner and give everyone in the business the chance to nominate the causes close to their hearts. This year the business voted to partner with Macmillan Cancer Support.
