19 Were committed to creating a culture of inclusivity and diversity and shaping our activities around these three pillars: Positive: Our people and brands power diversity and inclusion. Inclusive: Everyone feels a true sense of belonging. Diverse: Striving for better representation across our business to reflect the diverse consumers we serve. We cultivate an inclusive culture in several ways: Learning series Our D&I knowledge series offers our people practical tips on how to be more inclusive in the workplace, covering topics like neurodiversity, disability inclusion, and inclusive leadership. Supporting young talent As a business, were working hard to incorporate diversity and inclusion into everything we do, from our brand campaigns to our recruitment processes. We partnered with The People, a mission-led start-up, to help young people from underrepresented communities break into the world of work. Called the Pentland Collective: the free mentoring programme helped young people from Black, Asian, minority ethnic and underserved communities develop their skills, confidence and network. Employee networks We have four networks of passionate people across our global business that drive change and help Pentland become a better place to work: Black Colleagues & their Allies, LGBTQ+ Colleagues & their Allies, a Network for Women & their Allies and a Wellbeing Network. Some of their actions for 2022 included: A global anti-racism allyship programme through Show Racism the Red Card. We showcased our diversity work to MPs in UK Parliament. Our first-ever Pride celebrations across our global offices, a podcast celebrating Coming Out Day and introducing the ability to add preferred pronouns to email signatures. Raising awareness around women -centric issues such as menopause. Diversity and inclusion We are proud to partner with Pentland Brands, a company that is engaged and willing to listen, learn and support a new generation of talent from underrepresented communities. I have had the privilege to be a mentee and mentor and it has had a major impact on my personal and professional growth. Rochelle Livingstone, Programme Manager at The People Being part of the Black Colleagues and their Allies network has been a source of pride. A highlight was the amazing collaboration between Pentland and The People, where I, along with leaders from around the business, mentored individuals from ethnic and underserved backgrounds. Mark Williams, Black Colleagues & their Allies Network Im very proud that Pentland puts LGBTQ+ agenda front and centre, with an employee network that strives to make it a welcoming place for everyone to be their true authentic self.
