Blurred

We never rest on our laurels – our desire to continuously improve is driven by the deep inequalities we see in the industry and beyond, and our belief we can be part of the solution.

We transparently report on our journey – sharing the good and bad – to ultimately show that being good in terms of DEI is not only the right thing to do to address inequalities, but that it’s simply good for business. We measure/report six-monthly across a number of data points (beyond race and gender) to take into account issues of intersectionality and to ensure we continuously strive for diversity within our team. In 2024 we launched ‘I Am Not a Typo’, a self-initiated project (i.e. no client) that looks to correct inequalities of autocorrect. We also worked with the Fashion Minority Alliance on a pro bono basis to help improve diversity in the industry. https://www.iamnotatypo.org/ We intentionally wear our ethical heart on our sleeve and in 2024 the number of ethnic minority candidates applying for permanent roles rose to 51%, compared to 39% in the previous period. Our in-house recruitment function recruits for our clients too, so is also helping to improve diversity client side by always providing diverse long-lists. Proof of the pudding comes from how our team feels about it: • 98% overall employee satisfaction rating • 100% strongly agreed/agreed to statements relating to purpose/values/behaviours • 100% agreement: ‘I believe as a team we live our value of Diverse.’
