Q. What impacts does inclusion have at JLR?

» Inclusion has had a measurable, positive impact on JLR’ s people, culture and business performance. Over the past few years, our inclusion index has seen a marked increase to 83 % and our recent recognition with the Gold Award for Commitment to Diversity, Equity and Inclusion at the 2025 Britain’ s Most Admired Companies Awards, demonstrates that our policies and practices are creating fairer, more equitable outcomes.

Inclusion enhances talent attraction and retention. Our progressive parental leave policy, specialised menopause support, £ 3.1m( US $ 4.2m) investment in inclusive workwear and onsite nursery and wellbeing programmes help to create an environment where colleagues are supported at every stage of life. This strengthens loyalty, engagement and career progression for all employees, particularly women.
Our inclusive recruitment practices, designed to ensure selection based on merit, combined with our partnerships with organisations such as STEM Women and Bright Network, are building a more diverse pipeline for the future.
