While our ambition is to foster an inclusive culture globally, we recognise that one size does not fit all. We work with a range of strategic partners across the world, including organisations, charities and communities, to support our objectives, further raise awareness of the importance of diversity, equity and inclusion and celebrate those enacting positive change within our industry and beyond.
To ensure our Diversity and Inclusion initiatives are aligned with best practice, we take part in industrywide benchmarking. In FY 2022/23 Burberry was recognised by the Bloomberg Gender-Equality Index (GEI) for the third consecutive year. We also maintained a leading position in the 2023 FTSE Women Leaders Review, being named as a top performer in the Women in Leadership ranking.
We performed above the average across leadership and talent pipeline, inclusive culture and external brand. The results highlighted areas in which our Diversity, Equity and Inclusion strategy is successfully enacting change across the business and enabled us to identify areas where we can further support our colleagues and communities.
