Why are we taking action?
Morrisons employs approximately 96,000 people. The people who supply us employ many more thousands, all over the world. And our stores are part of their local community. So it’s important that we look after our colleagues and make people feel safe and supported.
We were the first UK supermarket to guarantee pay of at least £10 an hour for our store colleagues, following successful completion of their probationary period. To make people feel welcome, we’re building a diverse, inclusive workplace, and we help young people to find opportunities.
To support communities during Covid-19, we helped to keep food banks stocked up. At each store and site, there’s a Community Champion whose sole purpose is to make sure we’re supporting our local area. We raise millions for charities big and small, check our our community & charity page here for more information.
We have a responsibility to recognise the human rights of workers in our supply chains. We work hard to make sure our products and materials are ethically sourced, find out more here.
Everyone is welcome and celebrated.
We're proud to have a diverse group of colleagues working here and want to make sure we continue to celebrate everyone for who they are. We want all of our colleagues to feel valued in an environment where we promote respect, where they feel a sense of belonging and they feel celebrated as individuals, where the moments that matter to them matter to us too.
Our Equal Opportunity Statement sets out our commitment to diversity and inclusion and our zero tolerance to discrimination in all our dealings with individuals we come into contact with through our work, regardless of whether they are a colleague, contractor, a customer or a visitor. No acts of discrimination, bullying, harassment (including sexual harassment) or victimisation will be tolerated at Morrisons.
In 2024 we became Headline Partners with Diversity & Inclusion in Grocery, a programme delivered by Grocery Aid, which supports 2.6 million people in the UK working in the grocery industry, playing our part in accelerating a truly diverse and inclusive industry. As well as signing the globally recognised Lead Network CEO Gender Equity Pledge, we are also proud founding signatories of the Meat Business Women Food Industry Charter, committed to working to achieve 40% female representation across the food industry by 2035 and removing barriers to women's advancement and success.
