Diversity and Inclusion at M&B
Our Mission
At M&B we consciously value differences as a collective strength to nurture an environment where all of our people have the opportunity to achieve their full potential.
Our organisation is made up of brilliant people. Each of us is unique, whether in terms of our background, personal characteristics, experience, skills, or motivations. We value our people for the differences they bring to the table. These differences - this diversity - is powerful. Fostering an inclusive culture helps each of us to benefit from a wider range of these different perspectives, experiences, and skills. We believe that this creates a happier, more productive working environment for us all. A culture of equality, diversity and inclusion supports wellbeing and enables our people to work better because they can be themselves and feel that they belong.
Our values are at the core of our business and fully align in our ambition to become a more inclusive organisation. Our specific intent as an organisation is to:
Pride Snippet
