4.1.2 Diversity and Inclusion (D&I)

Inclusion is vital; enabling each individual to have a place. Diversity and Inclusion is a priority for the Group’s senior management. Respecting everybody for their individuality, both internally within the Group (the diversity of our employees) and externally (the cultural contexts in which the teams work with our clients) is at the heart of our corporate culture. The Group’s Diversity & Inclusion policy sets out the main founding principles that are underpinned by more local policies. The founding principles are updated on a regular basis and employees involved in implementing actions are informed of any changes. They are also shared with clients with whom we may conduct joint initiatives.

The Group’s gender diversity – at December 31, 2019
