Diversity and inclusion
At ii we are focused on attracting, developing and retaining the very best at all levels. We do this by engaging people with a wide range of experiences, backgrounds and abilities and building a culture of inclusion and equality, where people are respected and valued.
Our approach is based on three key principles:
- Equality – we promote equality of opportunity by seeking to remove barriers, eliminating discrimination and ensuring equal opportunity and access for all.
- Diversity – we accept each person as an individual. Our success is built on our ability to embrace diversity and respect others’ beliefs and preferences.
- Inclusion – we create a working culture where differences are not merely accepted but valued. We want people to feel involved, respected and connected to our values.
