Our DEI Commitment

We are working to create a culture and team that represents our mission of empowerment. We want to celebrate our diversity, embody inclusion and create an equitable business. This means doing more and working harder to make the long-lasting changes necessary. We care about our people, our community and world.

We want to stand up for what we believe in and give our people a platform to use their voice. To actively listen and learn from what they have to say. This involves focusing on learning, development, and progression across the business. Being clear on the responsibilities we hold each other and to our community. It also means being committed to equal employment opportunities. Ensuring we consider ALL applicants for jobs and working harder to make our job advertising more inclusive.

Our DEI mission is "to embed diversity, equity and inclusion at the heart of our business. To create a culture of belonging that empowers everyone to be their best authentic self. We commit to celebrating different perspectives and to continuously learning, developing and challenging ourselves and our partners."

We know we're on a journey. And far from perfect. But we want to be a part of the solution to the problem. It might not be comfortable or straightforward. But if we weren't up for doing the hard work and breaking the mould, we wouldn't be Sweaty Betty. We are committed to working across our business and with our DEI committee & DEI Collective to be champions, allies and inclusive, always. Because when we say all, we mean it.
