Inclusion and Diversity

Plenty of research suggests that companies that are inclusive and diverse will prosper. Inclusion helps drive community spirit, social cohesion and fosters talent so everyone can be the best and most authentic version of themselves. Our new research Inclusion in Food and Consumer Goods builds on, Diversity in Food and Grocery, released in 2019 with The MBS Group and in association with PwC. We’re helping businesses on this complex journey with insights, free events and industry networks with the full knowledge that to accelerate we must embrace it in all parts of our businesses and tackle it in a multi-dimensional way.
