We are dedicated to providing equal opportunities to, and fair treatment of, all our Employees, and to creating an inclusive workforce by promoting employment equality.

Diversity is a key principle of our ethos. Our Group-wide diversity and inclusion strategy focuses on ensuring all of our Employees can flourish. We respect and celebrate each other’s differences, and value what makes each of us unique.

We must treat colleagues as we expect to be treated, respect their characteristics and opinions, and not practice any form of unlawful discrimination.

Discrimination can include (but is not limited to) allowing race, ethnicity, color, gender, age, disability, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, class, religion, politics, marital status, pregnancy status, union membership, smoking habits, or any other characteristic protected by law to influence our judgment when it comes to the recruitment, development, advancement, or exit of any Employee.

This reflects our support for ILO Convention 111 which sets out fundamental principles concerning the elimination of discrimination in the workplace.

To foster transparency and to hold ourselves accountable, we publish an Annual Diversity and Inclusion Report which details our global diversity and inclusion strategy, as well as our gender and ethnicity pay reporting.

All aspects of harassment and bullying are completely unacceptable. We are committed to removing any such actions or attitudes from the workplace.

Harassment and bullying include, but are not limited to, any form of sexual, verbal, non-verbal and physical behavior, which is abusive, humiliating or intimidating.

If we witness or experience such behavior, or behavior that is unacceptable in any other way, we should report it to our line manager. We seek to provide a climate of confidence where Employees can raise issues, and aim for a swift resolution to the satisfaction of all concerned.

Employees can raise issues through local grievance procedures or Group Speak Up channels.

We are committed to providing remuneration that is fair, clear and equitable.

Group Companies must comply with all minimum wage legislation, and our strategy is for reward levels to be competitive within the local area.

We are committed to supporting flexible working for our Employees.

Group Companies must comply with all applicable working time laws, taking account of any legally mandated maximum working hours requirements.
