As part of its global diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiative ‘This is Me!’, AB Agri has, over the past five years, focused on fostering inclusive talent management that reflects the diversity of its workforce.
It aimed to cultivate a culture where individuals feel empowered to “bring their whole selves to work”.
This acknowledgement by The Times recognises the progress made in building an inclusive environment – one where opportunity is accessible to all, and every individual has the support to succeed.
While the recognition is UK-based, the company has said that it represents the efforts of AB Agri’s global teams.
From inclusive recruitment practices, and transparent pay structures, to flexible working arrangements, and the work of its employee network groups, the company said it is embedding inclusion of how it leads and grows together across every part of the business.
Group people & performance director at AB Agri Ltd., Kelly Brown said: “We’re honoured and excited to be recognised in The Times Top 50 Employers for Gender Equality.
“At AB Agri, we’re deeply committed to building a culture where diversity, equity, and inclusion are at the core of everything we do – a place where everyone feels valued, heard, and free to be themselves.
“This recognition reflects the sustained efforts of our teams – from our This is Me! initiative and inclusive hiring practices to leadership development and the inspiring work of our Employee Network Groups.
“We remain dedicated to creating an environment where everyone can thrive, and this achievement is a powerful testament to that commitment.”
