Inclusion is at the heart of our mutual purpose

We refer to this as ‘building society, nationwide’. Central to this is our mission to build a truly inclusive culture where everyone can thrive. And for our Society to reflect the diversity of the wider communities we serve.

Our inclusion and diversity mission

Find out more about how we’re building an inclusive culture. And making sure that our Society reflects the diversity of the wider communities we serve.

Measuring our progress

We’re using data to see what we’re doing well and more importantly, where we need to do better.


Our Employee Network Groups

It’s vitally important that our people get the support they need. And equally important that our Society appreciates and understands their diverse needs.

Our 9 employee networks, that support inclusion and diversity, play a crucial role in doing this. They provide a space for people to share what's important to them, connect with others and be involved in action to make our Society more inclusive.

It’s through this dialogue that we can improve how we work and build an inclusive culture.
