Our Diversity & Inclusion Working Groups
We have a variety of Diversity & Inclusion (D&I) working groups that have been set up to help us advance our journey towards living our values, in particular ‘believing in better together’.
In each group, we promote ‘allyship’. This is an opportunity for everyone, even if they are not a part of a minority in society themselves, to support those who are and use their own position to understand and amplify other peoples’ voices and experiences.
Allyship is an opportunity for us to have a greater understanding of our society and how other people experience it.
