Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Statement At Manolo Blahnik, our values underpin everything that we do. We are a gentle community; one that is wholly committed to nurturing tolerance, empathy, integrity and respect. Our diverse and multicultural teams ignite our creativity and we celebrate the differences that we collectively bring. We promote a culture of equality, diversity, inclusion and respect. We believe in creating a positive community through our commitment to kindness; it takes courage to be kind, and in turn kindness creates courage. We believe in actively listening and encourage constructive debate to ensure we are always evolving. We are committed to equal employment and progression opportunities and the elimination of any form of discrimination. We are passionate about well-being and the mental health of our teams; we strive to offer a safe, inclusive and supportive working environment. We do not tolerate bullying, discrimination, harassment or victimisation of any form. We all hold a responsibility to recognise and respect our diversity and to support this in our words and actions.
