DIVERSITY, EQUITY & INCLUSION

We've set ambitious targets for increasing representation across gender, ethnicity, and other dimensions of diversity. We regularly measure and report on our progress, including publishing gender and ethnicity pay gap information, to maintain accountability.

We're committed to fair and accessible hiring practices. This includes diverse interview panels, inclusive job descriptions, and ensuring diverse candidate shortlists for roles at all levels. We actively work to remove barriers to entry, particularly for underrepresented groups.

Our employee-led networks and resource groups provide valuable support, mentoring and community for colleagues across various identities and backgrounds. These groups play an essential role in shaping our policies and practices while fostering a sense of belonging.

Our leaders are accountable for creating inclusive environments. DEI objectives are incorporated into leadership performance measures, and we actively sponsor inclusion initiatives across our organisations.

We provide comprehensive inclusion training and development opportunities to ensure everyone understands their role in creating a respectful workplace. From apprenticeships to leadership programs, we're building career pathways that are accessible to people from all backgrounds.

We engage with schools, colleges and partner organisations to inspire interest in STEM careers among underrepresented groups. Through collaborative educational initiatives and community partnerships, we're building a more diverse talent pipeline while supporting the communities we serve.
