We believe that through collaboration we can amplify the impact of individual inclusion initiatives and together we can have a bigger, louder voice for the good of the Retail sector.

Our joint mission with WiHTL is to support companies across the Retail, Hospitality, Travel and Leisure industry to create diverse and inclusive environments and positively impact 5 million employees globally by 2030.

The Inclusion Maturity Curve Assessment has reopened for 2025!

Last year, over 75 of the UK’s foremost organisations across the Hospitality, Travel, Leisure and Retail sectors took part, and this figure looks set to rise in 2025. Will your organisation be among them?

Developed in partnership with the Centre for Diversity Policy Research and Practice at Oxford Brookes Business School, the Inclusion Maturity Curve is a unique, industry-backed framework. This assessment enables you to measure the maturity and impact of your company’s inclusion initiatives, policies and practices and the progress you are making in building a diverse and inclusive organisation.

"Taking part in the Maturity Curve has really helped us as a business deliver on being a best-in-class employer." Kirstie Loveridge, Executive Vice President, People and Culture at AEG Europe
