Diversity, equity, and inclusion
With over 32,000 colleagues around the world, our people are our greatest asset. We believe that talent is everywhere and that welcoming colleagues from a wide variety of backgrounds brings important benefits to our business.
Our ambitions
We want to value difference in all its forms, ensure our colleagues feel respected, and create an inclusive environment in which everyone can be themselves and reach their full potential. This is based on two core principles: zero tolerance of discrimination and 100% inclusion for everyone.
We believe that inclusion makes us stronger, and so we aim to embed it into our business as much as possible.
We are committed to improving gender diversity throughout Belron, including within our leadership. In 2025 24% of our employee population was female and 2/3 of our revenue was generated under female leadership.
Summary of progress
Employee engagement
We undertake a range of initiatives to drive colleague engagement including training, flexible working, feedback channels, and support for local communities. For example:
Our annual Belron Exceptional People Awards (BEPAs) celebrate colleagues making a particularly meaningful difference with care. In 2025, we congratulated 64 (individual and team) winners from 20 countries, most working in frontline roles or in our distribution centres.
In 2025, 27,266 (88%) of colleagues across our business participated in our Annual Engagement Survey, which also tracks DE&I progress through measures such as feeling able to be yourself at work and manager support for inclusion (both 90%). Overall engagement was 87.1%, our DE&I index remained high at 89%, 88% of colleagues said they feel proud to work for Belron, and 91% said their manager cares about their wellbeing.
Celebrating diversity
To maintain visibility and further understanding, we recognised important dates with our colleagues and communities, both globally and locally. These range from Pride Month and Black History Month, to International Day for Disabled Persons and International Women’s Day.
We place emphasis on learning, storytelling, and fostering greater understanding.
A global campaign, ‘Belonging @ Belron’, was dedicated to celebrate activities of inclusion and diversity from around the world.
Adapting how we work
The physical nature of removing and replacing glass can feel like a barrier for some people, particularly women, those with smaller statures, and older workers.
We want to attract the most talented colleagues into our business regardless of their size or strength, and retain their experience for as long as possible.
We are continuously improving our tools and processes to have a greater focus on skill than physical strength, and have made the tools more accessible and safer too.
