As a Group, we are committed to an inclusive culture where everybody belongs. Our Inclusive Justice Initiative (IJI), launched in 2021, is an integral part of our Good Business journey. It is underpinned by the ethos of inspiring inclusive growth for all our people and lies at the heart of our commitment. IJI sets out to acknowledge that certain groups in our society are marginalised and as a business we have committed to shaping an inclusive society where everyone feels they belong – particularly at work – where they are accepted, protected, safe and respected. Inherent in our Inclusive Justice intent is how we are deliberate about creating access so we can achieve diversity and leave no one behind. We believe that it is our collective responsibility as individuals and as an organisation, to actively engage with issues of inequality, discrimination and marginalisation, work towards positive change and make a broader contribution to the world around us. We therefore take our responsibility to build diverse, inclusive and safe environments for all our people, seriously.

Considering the nuances of our diverse geographic, demographic and legislative landscapes, the execution of our IJI strategies and priority focus areas will differ with respect to distinct contextual settings.

To advance our IJI commitment we have proactively chosen to address several critical social justice concerns affecting our people, encompassing themes of racism, women’s empowerment, gender equity, gender-based violence, diversity, and inclusion, as well as equitable, fair and responsible pay. Our overarching goal is to foster a society where each person can freely embrace their uniqueness, experience acceptance, respect, and belonging. As part of our unwavering commitment to inclusive justice, we have initiated targeted efforts within the People component of our IJI. This includes measures to combat gender-based violence and promote fairness and inclusivity in our workplaces. To ensure the effectiveness of these initiatives, we have appointed an executive responsible for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) who will champion our DEI strategy for people, a pivotal element of our broader IJI strategy. 

The table below offers a visual representation of how our people-focused initiatives align with the overarching directional themes of our IJI. Our primary directional theme, ‘Non-discrimination and equal opportunity’, sets the fundamental tone for our Inclusive Justice agenda. Additionally, our commitment to women’s empowerment and gender equality stands as our universal lead advocacy issue across the Group.
