Diversity, Equity and Inclusion

We are dedicated to fostering a workplace that values and leverages the diversity of all our colleagues, ensuring everyone feels they belong. Embracing diversity and cultivating a culture of respect and inclusion are essential for our growth. 

Diverse teams are more innovative, achieve better business performance, and are more adept at meeting customer needs. This is only possible when everyone feels they can bring their whole self to work and thrive.

What we offer

Communications forum

Colleagues from across the business review and shape communications and engagement plans. Ensuring every part of our business is represented and colleagues have a voice. Including our CEO and senior leaders.

Colleague networks

Provide colleagues with a forum to share their experiences and voice concerns which we can then feed back to the business. Currently we have a menopause network, an LGBTQ+ and Allies network and a Mental Health Champion Network. We are working with colleagues to establish further networks across the business.

Race at work charter

We have recently signed and are dedicated to fulfilling the commitment of improving equality of opportunity at Reconomy/Valpak.

Supporting women

The Supporting Women in Reconomy programme has led to a new and enhanced maternity and adoption leave policy, as well as a menopause policy. We are committed to continuing this work and ensuring women get equal access to learning and development opportunities.

Our expectation

Welcoming, friendly, and positive colleagues that respect each other’s individuality and opinions. Being an advocate of diversity, equity and inclusion, where all our differences are accepted, valued and celebrated.

Everyone has a responsibility to make both a personal commitment and set a standard for others to follow.

“Leadership here is brilliant. To be invited to join the Communication forum and speak to our CEO and leaders directly was jaw dropping, I’m still stunned about it. Seeing the changes happening as a result is great. I feel this is very special and rare”
