What Inclusivity & Diversity means to us at Premier Foods

The core of our Inclusion and Diversity Strategy at Premier Foods is to provide a safe environment so that everyone feels they can bring their true authentic self to work and thrive.   

It’s also vital for the sustainability of our businesses and economies. Everyone stands to benefit when we embrace and value the diversity of thoughts, ideas and ways of working that our people bring. 

At Premier Foods we are committed to having an inclusive culture across our whole organisation where everyone is welcome. We aim to ensure all existing or potential colleagues are given equal opportunities and are equally respected, valued and encouraged to bring their true authentic selves to work.   

Everyday inclusion is our approach to ensuring that the things we all do on a daily basis, including the way we behave and interact with each other, support the cultural and behavioural change we aspire to. Our aim is to create an environment; one where we all feel we belong and are empowered to fulfil our potential.   

It is not a one-off action or campaign, but sustained attention each and every day that embraces all individuals and differences.  It requires us all to take personal responsibility for our everyday actions recognising that we all have an impact. 

Our commitments 

To create a physiologically safe work environment that promotes inclusion, dignity and respect for all 

 To foster a work environment where individual differences and contributions are recognised, valued and where all can thrive 

To treat colleagues fairly when it comes to promotion, progression, training and development, with all decisions made in line with business needs as well as individual aptitude and ability, including when and where we select candidates for employment. 

To encourage colleagues to raise their concerns if they feel they have been subject to discrimination so we can apply corrective measures.

To regularly review our employment practices and procedures so that inclusion & diversity is achieved.   

Monitoring 

Our culture is monitored and reviewed on a regular basis to ensure that Inclusion & Diversity is continually promoted and adhered to within our workplace.
