Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Policy
CRANBOURN® is committed to fostering a diverse, equitable and inclusive environment that reflects and respects the unique experiences, perspectives and contributions of our people, partners, suppliers and the communities we serve.
We believe that diversity strengthens organisations, drives innovation and enriches decision-making. We recognise and value the diversity of human experience, including differences in age, disability, ethnicity, gender, gender identity, marital status, nationality, race, religion or belief, sexual orientation, socio-economic background, education, skills, experience, perspectives and ways of thinking.
CRANBOURN® strives to champion diversity, equity and inclusion in all aspects of its business. By embracing diversity and creating an environment where everyone feels valued, respected and able to contribute, we strengthen our organisation and enhance our ability to serve customers, business partners and community stakeholders from every background.
We are committed to providing equal opportunities and maintaining a workplace that is free from unlawful discrimination, harassment, bullying and victimisation. We expect all employees, contractors, suppliers, business partners and other stakeholders to uphold these principles and contribute to a culture of mutual respect and inclusion.
CRANBOURN® is committed to maximising both individual contributions and organisational effectiveness through the diversity of our workforce, leadership, business partners and supply chain. We seek to create an inclusive environment where all individuals feel welcomed, respected, supported and able to fulfil their potential.
Where possible, CRANBOURN® seeks to attract candidates from a broad range of backgrounds and experiences and to ensure that recruitment, selection, development and promotion decisions are based on merit, capability, qualifications and organisational fit.
CRANBOURN® seeks to promote diversity and inclusion not only within its workforce but also throughout its supply chain by encouraging engagement with diverse suppliers and businesses owned, led or operated by individuals from historically underrepresented populations and communities.
To support this commitment, we will:
- Promote equal opportunity and fair treatment in recruitment, development, promotion, reward and all employment-related decisions.
- Encourage a diverse workforce and inclusive organisational culture at all levels of the business.
- Actively seek out and encourage diverse ideas, perspectives and points of view.
- Create and maintain a workplace that is free from discrimination, harassment and inappropriate conduct.
- Support accessibility and, where appropriate, provide reasonable adjustments to enable individuals to participate fully in the workplace.
- Promote awareness, understanding and respect for diversity, equity and inclusion.
- Encourage open dialogue and constructive engagement across different backgrounds and experiences.
- Seek opportunities to engage with and support diverse suppliers, including businesses owned, led or operated by individuals from historically underrepresented populations and communities.
- Regularly review our practices and policies to support continuous improvement in diversity, equity and inclusion.
These commitments reflect our determination to be an innovative, responsible and high-performing organisation that creates long-term value for all stakeholders.
Our core values are at the heart of everything we do, from the sourcing of ingredients and materials to the creation of our finished products:
- Openness, courage, integrity, honesty and accountability.
- Equality, diversity, inclusion and supporting those without a voice.
- Freedom of choice and respect for individual dignity.
- Supporting communities and families.
- Fairness, ethical business practices and strong partnerships with suppliers.
- Environmentally responsible products and practices.
- Continuous learning, exploration and discovery.
- An unwavering commitment to craftsmanship, quality and excellence.
CRANBOURN®’s leadership is responsible for promoting and supporting the principles of diversity, equity and inclusion throughout the organisation. We will periodically review our policies, practices and initiatives to identify opportunities for continuous improvement and to ensure that our commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion remains effective and relevant.
CRANBOURN® supports the principles set out in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the Fundamental Conventions of the International Labour Organization (ILO), the United Nations Global Compact, and the principles of the B Corp movement. We are committed to embedding these principles throughout our business and supply chain.
