Our commitment to Equity, Diversity & Inclusion

We are committed to educating ourselves, addressing the barriers to equality, equity and diversity, and creating an inclusive environment. This matters to us because if we fail to reflect the wider society in all we do, we risk becoming less relevant and too narrow in our focus. In the coming years we will be looking for new ways to cherish our existing customers and engage with communities we haven’t connected with before.
