We’re thrilled to announce that we’ve officially joined the Diversity & Inclusion (D&I) in Grocery 2026 Programme as a proud partner. This initiative is designed by the industry, for the industry, to support organisations on their D&I journey, and we’re excited to be part of it.
The Programme is delivered and facilitated by GroceryAid, a UK charity providing free, confidential financial, emotional, and practical support to people working in the grocery industry. The D&I in Grocery Programme supports this purpose by accelerating a truly diverse and inclusive grocery industry.
By joining the programme, we’re committing to meaningful progress in creating a more inclusive workplace. The benefits of our partnership include:
- Tracking our progress using the D&I Grocery Maturity Model and benchmarking against industry standards.
- Learning from over 100 partners through the programme’s unique connections service.
- Gaining shared knowledge from individuals and organisations to transform our business strategy.
- Accessing resources and a network of over 3,000 allies via The Partner HUB.
- Receiving bespoke 1-to-1 check-ins throughout the year to guide our D&I efforts.
- Influencing action by participating in the programme’s Steering Group.
This partnership marks a significant step forward in our commitment to fostering a workplace where everyone feels valued, respected, and empowered.
Catriona Lee, Business Development and D&I Board Member commented “Diversity and Inclusion is about more than just recognising differences, it's about creating a welcoming environment where everyone can be their best self, regardless of who they are, what they do or where they are from. We are really excited to support the D&I in Grocery programme, which offers valuable insight and support, through which we're confident will help us become a more inclusive and more successful business.”
