Our purpose is to bring mobility to the world’s communities. To deliver this we believe we need to better reflect the world’s communities across Inchcape. The more voices, experiences and backgrounds we include at Inchcape the more we will all thrive for today, for tomorrow and for the better.
There are many reasons why Inclusion & Diversity is important to our company; for me, it’s all about talent! I believe that talent is equally distributed across society and we want society reflected across our global business. That is how we become the best in the world.

The value of Inclusion & Diversity at Inchcape
We want all Inchcape colleagues to feel like they belong here and to be empowered to be their best self. We believe inclusion starts with all of us to ensure everyone can fully participate at Inchcape. We want to respect and celebrate the best in us all. We believe diversity is the power of differences in our people and the knowledge, skills and perspectives they bring.
At Inchcape we call it ‘Inclusion & Diversity’ because we believe the true value of diversity cannot be realised until we build a culture of inclusion.
In partnership with colleagues across Inchcape we are developing an inclusive and diverse workplace in several ways.
Family Inclusive Workplace
Inchcape Australia has been recognised as a Family Inclusive Workplace by Family Friendly Workplaces, underscoring our commitment to work-life wellbeing, equality, diversity, and inclusion.
This certification recognises Inchcape as an organisation that actively supports staff with caring responsibilities by providing an inclusive approach to flexible work arrangements, parental leave, leadership culture, and family care and wellbeing standards.
As a certified Family Inclusive Workplace, we acknowledge the diverse caregiving responsibilities of our team members and are dedicated to cultivating a supportive culture that balances both personal and professional needs.
Inclusion at Inchcape
Inclusion starts with all of us to ensure everyone can fully participate in our business; ensuring people feel a sense of belonging, and are respected and empowered to be their best through our actions, behaviours and decisions.
Diversity at Inchcape
Diversity is the power of differences in our people and the knowledge, skills and perspectives they bring. Who we are, our identity and our experiences make us unique, and contribute to how we think and feel.
Driving our inclusive culture
Our ambition is to create action and not just words. Our Inclusion & Diversity Framework covers four key areas to ensure we drive action across Inchcape.
| Knowledge and Understanding | Colleague Voice | Visibility and Progress | Campaigns and Events |
|---|---|---|---|
| Our education and awareness programmes help to reduce bias and drive more inclusive hiring, promotion and reward decisions. | Our structured forums ensure conversation and action on I&D is influenced by our colleagues. | Our policies and the tracking and measuring of the performance of our I&D programmes enable our inclusive culture. | Our programme of global I&D campaigns and events empowers us to raise awareness and celebrate I&D progress together. |
