DRIVING EQUITY AND BELONGING AT JLR
We know when people hear the words Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DE&I) there will be many different interpretations. The words are often misunderstood or used interchangeably. At JLR we hold our own, shared definition of DE&I.
Diversity
Diversity is all about the differences and uniqueness that each of us brings. It includes the things you can’t see as well as the things you can.
We are all different. We are all unique.
EQUALITY & EQUITY
When we treat everyone equally, we treat everyone the same, but when we treat everyone equitably we focus on individual needs. In a diverse workplace, people require support in different ways. Equity asks us to recognise that everyone has different needs, experiences, and opportunities.
INCLUSION
It’s possible to have diversity without inclusion. But without inclusion, diversity is pointless. Inclusion is about leveraging the power of the differences and uniqueness that each of our people bring. It requires us to actively create a culture of unity where people are valued as their authentic selves, where diverse perspectives are sought and listened to and where everyone is treated with respect.
We know that creating a diverse and inclusive organisation where everyone's voice is heard and we value every individual for their unique perspectives will create a genuine sense of inclusion and belonging.

Claire Parker Head of DEI
"We are committed to fostering a diverse, inclusive and unified culture representative of our customers and the society in which we live; a culture where every one of our employees can bring their authentic self to work and feel empowered to reach their full potential."
Our Networks
We are very proud of our employee‑led diversity and inclusion networks, which are supported by champions from the Board and the Senior Leadership team.
By working together, we can make the change, and create an inclusive culture where every one of our employees feels listened to, understood, supported and valued equally.
Our DE&I Strategy
These networks are run by colleagues, for colleagues. They offer a platform for people to share their ideas and experiences and support one another, as well as learn, network and influence others.
