In 2020 BM set up a dedicated Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (ED&I) team to ensure that Equality, Diversity and Inclusion would ensure fair treatment and opportunity for all team members. BM wanted to ensure that no one would face prejudice or discrimination on the basis of an individual or group of individual’s protected characteristics.
ED&I mission statement
To celebrate the diversity within our #bmFamily, through an agreed strategic approach. Take steps to ensure we continue to have a diverse workforce. Our teams from every background benefit from an inclusive culture that promotes opportunity for all.
The ED&I mission statement was just the beginning. It provided the stepping-off point to create a workplace that celebrates and benefits from differences.
