We Stand for Inclusivity & Anti-Racism: We are committed to creating a workplace that is inclusive of all – where everyone feels empowered to bring their full, authentic selves to work; where embracing cultural differences, accepting others without bias, and antiracism are a reflex, not an initiative.

We act responsibly in our impact on the planet: We view sustainability – a net-zero neutral impact on the environment – as an ongoing commitment and a responsibility. Whether it is product development, packaging, logistics or even our physical office space; we apply an impact-based approach to everything that we do. We develop and act on new practices to ensure that our entire organisation is striving to reduce our environmental impact.
