At Burberry, we believe Diversity, Equity and Inclusion are essential to fulfilling our purpose and are core to our values. Attracting and retaining diverse talent and fostering an inclusive culture enable us to be more creative in everything we do.
We have set out global standards for how we can foster an inclusive environment in our Global Diversity and Inclusion Policy, ensuring we are creating a culture that will minimise barriers and create more moments for colleagues to feel represented, listened to and celebrated throughout our business.
Our strategic objectives are supported by the following framework:
To ensure accountability and that we deliver against our objectives, we engage with our colleagues directly and create safe spaces within which feedback can be provided to the business throughout the year. We are also supported by the collaboration and consultation of the Employee Inclusion Council, Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) and our Cultural Advisory Council, which consists of eight external industry experts as well as our Vice President of Diversity, Equity & Inclusion, our Chief People Officer, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Marketing Officer.
Our commitment to Diversity, Equity and Inclusion extends beyond Burberry. We champion and advocate for changemakers, organisations and initiatives that have a meaningful impact on underrepresented communities. We believe it is important to celebrate diversity in our campaigns and shows, and we have measures in place to ensure we assemble casts that are representative of our customers and communities.
