From supporting Compass UK & Ireland's initiative of creating one million job opportunities by 2030 to supporting local charities, we're helping people change their lives for the better both within and outside our business. Read on to find out more about our Social Promise.
Ensuring representation
Our workforce must represent the rich diversity of the customers and clients we serve, as well as broader society. We benefit from a myriad of perspectives, so our aim is for all levels of our organisation – from frontline to senior leadership – to be representative of the UK working population.
Providing skills and progression
Everyone in our business should have an equal opportunity to progress in their career. As one of the country’s widest-reaching industries, the retail sector is uniquely placed to support people with their progression at whatever level they enter the business.
Everyone at One Retail has visibility of a clear pathway for progression and development, helping them advance through the ranks from entry-level to senior management.
Outreach to our communities
We will look to provide employment for those from hard-to-reach groups, working with partners such as the DWP, Springboard, the Clink and Care Leaver Covenant. We will also look to engage further with local communities with the launch of a new voluntary work scheme, providing our employees with a day off to support initiatives in the local community.
Securing fair pay for all
Our Recognised Service Provider status by the Living Wage Foundation highlights our commitment to championing fair pay across the industry, advocating for the living wage and encouraging clients and suppliers to follow suit.
We also publish clear annual gender and ethnicity pay gap reports, including a detailed explanation of the actions taken to close the gap year on year.
