Commitment to inclusion and diversity
What is inclusion and diversity?
Understanding the role of inclusion and diversity within our company means that we need to be aware of the contribution that can be made by everyone with whom we do business. Our strategy includes our employees, our leaders, our business and the customers and communities we serve.
For employees, we must create an environment that allows them to do their best work by being themselves.
For leaders, we must increase their capability to work effectively across cultures.
For our business, it is discovering, developing and commercialising products to meet the needs of a diverse marketplace.
For customers and communities, it means understanding and responding to their often changing needs, through community partnerships and social responsibility.
How does inclusion and diversity affect what we do?
By encouraging inclusion and diversity, we can:
- recruit and retain the best people
- respond to our customers' needs in a way that builds their confidence in our company and our products
- work effectively with other organisations
