Diversity and inclusion

Any company that wants to serve a diverse customer base, and draws on the widest possible pool of talent, needs to reflect the diversity of wider society. We want to create a genuinely diverse workforce. Our community and marketing initiatives and our product development all link with this goal too.

Last year we made a commitment to raise awareness of our equal opportunity policies by developing a diversity action plan and appointed a diversity champion, Danuta Gray, Chief Executive Officer of O2 Ireland. Her proposals were put to the Executive Committee in January 2005 and a framework to enable each business to develop relevant actions was agreed. This has four key areas: Diversity Awareness, Development of Key Metrics, Human Resources Practices and Policies and Accessibility.

Below are the details on the composition of our workforce, regrouping the information we are now collecting on our diversity and gender.
