Diversity-and-inclusion
At JM an inclusive culture is integral to our values and ambitions for the future. For over 200 years, we’ve continued to grow far and wide, across continents and cultures, with employees worldwide. It’s essential that our people, today and in the future, feel safe, valued, and supported in the workplace. Welcoming everyone to JM, regardless of their unique characteristics, experiences or thoughts allows us to bring many different voices and backgrounds together to tackle some of the world’s biggest challenges. In order to successfully catalyse the transition to net zero, we need this rich diversity and an environment where everyone can be their best, add value, and reach their full potential.
People will always be at their best when they feel like they can be themselves at work. Our ambition recognises that Diversity, inclusion and belonging (DI&B) are fundamental to who we are and our success and is part of our wider sustainability strategic goals. To that end, we have established DI&B ambitions within our four areas of commitment:
Employee resource groups and ambassadors at JM
Employee resource groups (ERGs) are voluntary, employee led groups that aim to create and foster an inclusive environment in which employees feel challenged, empowered, and supported in developing and maximising their personal potential and value to the company. They help form a bridge between countries, cultures, and seniority levels, to ensure all voices are heard.
In addition to our ERGs, we also have a network of DI&B ambassadors across JM. This is a community of over 100 employees across the world that work to champion and model DI&B at their local sites.
Key achievements and partnerships
Not only is advancing diversity, inclusion and belonging just the right thing to do, but research shows that companies who embrace diversity and create a sense of inclusion consistently outperform those that don't. So, we make sure our efforts in this space aren't limited to our four key areas of commitment mentioned above.
