We are building a better tomorrow for our people by demonstrating care, creating a safe place where they can be their best selves, and empowering them to reach their full potential.
Our care for people is at the heart of how we support our communities through mutually beneficial partnerships and by working hand in hand with our suppliers to build a rights-respecting culture in our supply chain.
Recent societal events, such as Black Lives Matter, have shed light on people’s lived experience. We recognise the value diversity brings to our business, our customers and our community. We believe in creating a workplace that is safe and inclusive so every team member feels like they belong and can be their best self.
