Equity, diversity and inclusion

We want to see a society where everyone is treated equally. We're working to create a fairer, more socially inclusive world.

This issue relates to the following Sustainable Development Goals

  • Gender equality
  • Reduced inequalities

Time for equity, time for justice, time for change

Too many people are denied opportunities. Too many people are excluded and under-represented simply because of who they are.

The system isn't working – so we need to change it. That means going further than ever to break down barriers and create opportunities in our workplaces, our supply and distribution chains, and in society at large.

This will not only help build a fairer world, it will strengthen our business.
