Our commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion

We believe that fostering a genuinely diverse and inclusive working environment is important to employees, clients and our communities. In this article, we’ll share how this is achieved and why it is an integral part of our business.

​Our commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion is part of the foundation of our business. It informs two of our values: trust and respect. These represent who we are and what we stand for. We believe that possessing and sharing diverse perspectives is the glue that binds us together and is the catalyst for creative thinking.

​We recognise that our differences are our strength which is why we do not tolerate discrimination or prejudice of any kind. We’re vigilant in avoiding unequal recruitment, promotion, job security, pay or professional opportunities.

Recruitment and progression
​In a 2023 study, Forbes reported that diverse teams deliver 60% better results and make better decisions in 87% of cases. We believe that diversity and inclusion are critical factors in our success, and that building diverse teams is essential for driving innovation and strong performance.

​We continue to evolve our recruitment process to allow us to meet our diversity hiring targets across all departments and levels. We have introduced the following measures:

• ​We use a blended approach to how we source candidates, including the use of different job portals, internal referrals, and recruitment agencies
• ​Our assessment process is built upon our values framework, providing candidates with an opportunity to demonstrate how their individual behaviours could fit with our culture

Training
​All of our team benefit from mandatory DE&I training as part of our commitment to maintaining an inclusive workforce.
