Everyone is Welcome

At Belu we believe there is strength in diversity and power in a similarity of spirit and sense of belonging. This is where we want people to bring different ideas, perceptions and

ways of working to ensure that we are a great place to work. Our Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Policy sets out this commitment to you.

We have a profound belief in the value diversity, inclusion and equality of opportunity. We confirm our continuing commitment to the principles in every place we show up, internal and external i.e. employment and customer experience. No employees, customers, contractors and/ or visitors will suffer any discrimination nor will they be disadvantaged because of their gender, race, disability, religion or belief, sexual orientation and/or age, pregnancy and maternity, marriage and civil partnership. We take a zero-tolerance approach.

Equity

We recognise that individuals affiliate with multiple identities Equity is the fair treatment, access, opportunity, and advancement for all people, while at the same time striving to identify and eliminate barriers that have prevented the full participation of some groups. Equity at Belu refers to a state where everyone – regardless of their gender, race, disability, religion or belief, sexual orientation and/or age – has a level playing field.

Diversity

Diversity is about valuing individual difference. Diversity recognises, values and celebrates difference. This enables all team members to contribute and realise their full potential.

Diversity means that we will recognise and value all sorts of differences in order to make Belu a better place for everyone to work. Diversity allows us to recognise the business and personal benefits that accrue from valuing the differences between people. Why is this important? Our customers also come from different backgrounds. If we welcome diversity as colleagues, value each other and treat each other fairly, we will work better together. In doing so, we will provide a better service and environment for both colleagues and customers.

Inclusion

If Diversity is the mix, Inclusion is making the mix work. Inclusion is the culture in which the mix of people can come to work feel comfortable and confident to be themselves and work in a way that suits them and delivers business needs. At Belu we ensure that people feel valued and accepted in our team without having to conform. All of our employees can bring their authentic self to work. Belu strives to help employees thrive at work and to achieve a work environment in which all employees feel included.

And finally, Belonging

Belonging is a sense of fitting in or feeling like you are an important member of a group. A feeling of belonging at Belu describes how our people feel, truly fitting in, being seen and valued for who they are building our sense of purpose and sense of community.

Each employee has the right to be valued, respected and work in an environment which is free from discrimination or harassment and every employee must adhere to these principles. Any form of discrimination, abuse or harassment will result in disciplinary action being taken, including dismissal for serious cases. Upon joining, employees will be informed of our EDI 43 policy and that they are obligated to comply with its requirements and promote fairness in the workplace.
