Equality Diversity & Inclusivity Policy

Our Commitment

Simply Garden Tools is committed to providing an environment where everyone is treated fairly, respectfully and with dignity.

We value diversity and believe that people should have equal opportunities regardless of their background, identity or personal circumstances.

We do not tolerate discrimination, harassment, bullying or victimisation within our workplace or in our dealings with customers, suppliers and other business partners.

Equality and Fair Treatment

We are committed to treating people fairly and do not discriminate on the basis of age, disability, gender reassignment, marriage or civil partnership, pregnancy or maternity, race, religion or belief, sex or sexual orientation.

Our approach applies throughout our business, including recruitment, employment, development, progression and day-to-day working relationships.

Decisions relating to employment and business opportunities should be based on relevant skills, experience, performance and business requirements.

Inclusion

We want Simply Garden Tools to be a welcoming and inclusive business where people feel respected and able to contribute.

Where reasonable and practical, we will consider individual needs and make reasonable adjustments to help remove barriers for disabled employees, applicants, customers and others interacting with our business.

Everyone working for or representing Simply Garden Tools is expected to:

  • Treat colleagues, customers, suppliers and other individuals with dignity and respect.
  • Help maintain an environment free from discrimination, harassment and bullying.
  • Respect different backgrounds, experiences, perspectives and beliefs.
  • Raise concerns where they witness behaviour that is inconsistent with this policy.

Raising a Concern

Anyone who believes they have experienced or witnessed discrimination, harassment or other inappropriate behaviour is encouraged to raise their concerns with management.

Concerns will be taken seriously and handled appropriately and sensitively.

Responsibility and Review

The management of Simply Garden Tools is responsible for promoting the principles of this policy and ensuring they are reflected in the way we operate.

We will review this policy periodically to ensure it remains appropriate for our business and consistent with relevant UK equality legislation.
