  • Assign responsibility for meeting our Charter commitments to a named, senior level individual.
  • Work together to develop and adopt future protocols that support the practical implementation of the aims of this Charter.
  • Publish annually the diversity profile of our UK employees and details of our work on equality, diversity and inclusion.
