Our Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) group has been established with the paramount commitment to fostering environments that are inclusive and open for both our workforce and customers.
The group is driven by the overarching ambition to guide the hospitality sector towards becoming the most inclusive industry.
This commitment is anchored in our guiding principles, which include creating diverse leadership through clear development opportunities, making accessibility adaptations to buildings within the next 5 years, providing comprehensive support within the workplace, promoting awareness and education on EDI, and utilising the EDI group to offer best practice guidelines.
A dedicated working group has been comprised of businesses from across the sector, with specific focus leads on protected characteristics.
