Talent: Identifying and attracting the best talent for our organisation involves minimising bias and removing potential barriers to our processes. We use several tools, partnerships and approaches to prioritise inclusive recruitment at all levels of our business. 

Development: We recognise that career journeys are not limited to vertical career progression and in 2024 we launched our Career Framework to enable colleagues to better understand career opportunities available to them. 

Storytelling: Throughout 2024, we have focused on increasing colleague race and ethnicity disclosure through our internal data and storytelling campaigns. We believe that our ‘What you see and the real me’ campaign, combined with an internal data disclosure campaign, helped to drive an 18% increase in race and ethnicity disclosure among colleagues.

Colleagues support: Our global colleague networks are built on shared characteristics and experiences. These networks support our colleagues to play a role in shaping our culture, with active sponsorship from our executive team. They are designed and led by colleagues, for colleagues. Each network is global, with a clear strategic statement, priorities and plan. Unity is our network celebrating the differences that cultural diversity brings.
