It is our collective responsibility to create and sustain an inclusive environment. Our Inclusion Network advocates for diversity and accessibility across the organisation and ensures that everyone has an opportunity to be heard.
We celebrate key moments and events, such as Pride in London, Black History Month and International Women’s Day because they reflect the diverse makeup of our people. We recognise that our diversity makes us stronger, more innovative, more creative and this all helps us in better serving our people, our customers and our communities.
