Diversity & inclusion
Bringing together our uniqueness


We believe that everyone – our colleagues, our customers, and the communities we work with – deserves to get the most out of life every day.
As a purpose and values led business, we’ve been passionate about diversity and inclusion for a long time. Equity is in our heritage, and shows up in our values. For 100 years, we’ve been making good things easily accessible to more people. Together, we’ve been making a difference.
But we recently took a deeper look at how we’re doing. And we need to take more action in some places. To help us do that, we’ve created a bold diversity and inclusion ambition, supported by five commitments and measures to ensure we deliver on them by 2025.
Our ambition:
“At Very, we’re committed to ensuring that every colleague, customer and member of our community feels welcomed, represented and valued for the magic of their uniqueness.”
Sarah Willett (she / her), chief people officer
