Boots has a proud history of championing women, and today we continue to drive inclusion, champion diversity and promote opportunity for everyone.
We have always sought to be a place where our colleagues feel encouraged and supported to be themselves throughout their careers and wherever they work in the business.
We continue to make meaningful steps towards addressing our gender pay gap through a number of initiatives. These include an ongoing focus on increasing the number of women in leadership roles, alongside ensuring an inclusive workplace where women feel supported to succeed both professionally and personally.
We're focused on creating a brilliant Boots for our people, this includes making sure everyone feels included, supported and celebrated for the positive impact they make, with the opportunities to thrive and advance their careers.
Since we began reporting in 2017, the data shows that we’re continuing to make positive progress to address our gender pay gap. The actions we are taking are having an impact, including improving representation of women at a senior leadership level.
While our progress is encouraging, there is still much more to do. We will continue to listen to our colleagues and refine the initiatives we have in place to further close our gender pay gap.
