Inclusion and diversity
We embrace our differences.
Why is inclusion and diversity important?
As a Group, we’re guided in how we do things by a clear set of values. A key part of how we seek to live and breathe these values is to strive to create a fully inclusive environment for all our colleagues, customers and communities, one that is truly representative of modern-day Britain.
Getting this right is at the heart of our purpose of helping Britain prosper – after all, a more inclusive society is a more prosperous society, and a diverse business is a better business.
Our aims:

Standing against hate
We’re an inclusive organisation and do not tolerate hate.
We have and will take action against discrimination and inappropriate behaviour, whether racist, sexist, homophobic, transphobic, ageist or ableist, regardless of whether this happens in our branches, offices, over the phone or online on our social media channels. Such action may include account closure or contacting the police if necessary.
We always hope to do the right the thing but we know we won’t always get things right. We are committed to striving to do better, for our colleagues, customers and communities.
