Our Pledge

This information will help us focus on where change is needed, working with our formed Diversity & Inclusion committee, a team of 17 people across all areas of our business.
The Diversity & Inclusion committee is working to hold us all to account in supporting diversity and being more representative in all we do: including, but not only, marketing and models, product ranging, recruitment and team diversity.
We will have this page on our website where our teams and our customers can see data, actions, outcomes and progress as it’s made.
Bras are no longer labelled under the term “nude” in any of our shops or online channels. These “skin tone bras” will now have a name appropriate to their shade – e.g. latte, cinnamon etc. We recognise this is a first step in a positive change to more representation of range, as we are working internally on longer term change with our branded suppliers to influence both language and the range of products/colours available for our customers.
Some of our customers have asked what our policies and position on sustainability and supply chain are, which can be found here. Like with all we do, we constantly review and update them.
