OUR PEOPLE ACCREDITATIONS

When it comes to adhering to high standards around people, we recognise the importance of providing an inclusive workplace for all our people to feel safe and supported at work, no matter what their individual characteristics.

We encourage everyone to bring their whole selves to work to enable a work environment that is supportive and collaborative and where integrity is valued. As well as benefiting employees, we believe this approach also creates the conditions for the diversity of thought and innovation that allow us to perform at our best for everyone.

“Good workplace diversity provides an open-minded environment for diversified, out-of-the-box thinking that stimulates innovation and creative culture. In our applied research team we have highly motivated people, from more than 10 different countries, with different ethnic backgrounds and above industry average gender balance. I am proud to be part of the team with such a great diversity.”
