We are committed to making equity, diversity and inclusion a business-wide priority. These new targets and actionable commitments are part of our expanded ED&I strategy, and are built from four pillars: Systems, Talent, Culture, and Society.

Equity, diversity and inclusion is a business-wide priority for Tate & Lyle, and I’m delighted we are launching a set of clear targets and actionable commitments in this area. I firmly believe that equity, diversity and inclusion are accelerators for growth and a key element of being a purpose-led company.

Our equity, diversity & inclusion targets and commitments

Integrate equity, diversity and inclusion into core organisational structure, policies and practices to promote equitable advancement, retention and reward:

  • By 2030, teams at all levels will be representative of their local communities

Educate all to achieve the equity, diversity and inclusion competence needed to create and sustain an inclusive culture:

    By 2022, 10% of Employee Resource Group (ERG) leaders’ paid time will be spent on ERG work
  • By 2025, employees, managers and leadership will spend 10, 15 and 20 hours each respectively on equity, diversity, and inclusion training
