Diversity in Retail is Devoted to Increasing Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Across Retail
We believe that through collaboration we can amplify the impact of individual EDI 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.
What We Do
Advocate, inspire, raise awareness
We conduct research and provide equity, diversity and inclusion content that is relevant and inspiring.
Share and learn from others
We nurture collaboration and sharing across the industry, creating multiple opportunities to interact and identify best practices that work in the Retail sector.
Co-create solutions
We support companies and executives in building a diverse talent pipeline through cross-industry leadership development programmes.
Support Organisations on their journey
We create bespoke solutions for our members when they need additional or deeper support to progress their EDI journey, driving organisational growth.
Our Collaboration Community reaches over 1.3 million employees
Be a part of our ever-growing Collaboration Community of companies and individuals committed to creating more diverse and inclusive workplaces.
We believe that no single company can make progress with the inclusion agenda on its own. Through collaboration we are able to have a greater impact on progressing EDI in Retail and in society as a whole.
On the 5th November 2024 we held our biggest Inclusion Summit yet at the Indigo at the O2 Arena. The range of stories, experiences, and voices of inclusion shared throughout the day was a true source of inspiration.
We were thrilled to welcome over 700 delegates from organisations across Hospitality, Travel, Leisure, and Retail, creating a vibrant energy as we explored this year's theme, 'Measuring the Business Impact of Inclusion.'
