Adrian Mardell, chief executive officer at Jaguar Land Rover, said: “Our dedicated diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) team, employee-led networks and inclusion councils are guiding and educating us to create continuous positive change. With the full backing and support of our executive co-sponsors of DEI, we are championing the voices of employees to drive meaningful, sustainable impact for all.
“Looking at the gender pay gap, overall there has been proportional increase of women in the organisation, which positively influenced the pay gap and is a welcome trend signalling that the steps we are taking are making a difference. Our representation of all ethnic minority groups in the UK has also improved, though mostly within the less senior populations of our salaried workforce. This has resulted in a very small increase in our ethnicity pay gap.”
