Our People pillar comprises three key elements.

1. Inclusion and diversity

We believe differences drive ideas and innovation. We will create an organisation that actively attracts, recruits and develops people across all aspects of diversity, and that reflects our customer base and the communities in which we operate.

An organisation that actively enables every person to feel valued and fully contribute, generating the broadest breadth in contribution, ideas and thinking to business performance and decision-making.

As a certified Family Inclusive Workplace, we acknowledge the diverse caregiving responsibilities of our team members and are dedicated to cultivating a supportive culture that balances both personal and professional needs.

2. Safety and wellbeing

We believe the physical and mental wellbeing of our people is paramount to the success of Inchcape. We will make sure every person both feels safe and is safe at work. We will make sure they are able to raise concerns, doubts and fears – and that we listen, take action and help them when needed, so we can support their mental health and wellbeing.

3. Talent and skills

We believe that providing continuous opportunities for professional and personal growth will guarantee our collective success as a responsible business. We will develop and source skills, capabilities, behaviours and mindsets that enable every person, team and Inchcape as a whole to succeed, delivering in a sustainable way as a truly responsible business; for our people, for our customers, for the communities in which we operate and for our planet.
