Inclusion and diversity

How we have been making progress to champion diversity

At Diageo, we continuously strive to ensure we are always championing diversity. Several programmes have taken place to raise awareness to inclusion for different groups of people around the business, for example, the Employee Advocacy Groups and the recent work on progressing parental leave to make it more accessible for both men and women.

Hear from our employees about how they feel Diageo continues to champion diversity and inclusion, from a sense of belonging, to always understanding and appreciating the differences in people.

Celebrate and get celebrated

Our purpose is to celebrate life, every day, everywhere. And creating an inclusive culture, where everyone feels valued and listened to, is a crucial part of this.

Join us, and you'll be part of an organisation that embraces diversity in the broadest possible sense. This means that you'll be welcomed and celebrated for who you are just by being you. You'll be part of — and help build — an inclusive culture that celebrates people of different gender, ethnicity, ability, age, sexual orientation, social class, educational backgrounds, experiences, mindsets, and more. And you'll help us champion inclusion and diversity across our entire business: with our employees, our suppliers, across our brands, and within the communities in which we operate.
