A diverse team is one in which every member is valued, regardless of their age, gender, race,

religion, disability, sexual orientation, or personal beliefs (so long as they do not contradict these

corporate values as a whole).

There are sound business arguments in favour of recruiting and developing a workforce which

represents the communities in which the organisation operates. We recognise this, and also the moral
