Tyneside bakery chain Greggs has won an award that recognises its work in diversity and inclusion.
The firm has been awarded the National Equality Standard, which has become the accepted standard for inclusivity in UK business. It is supported by the Home Office and the CBI.
Achieving the accreditation formed a key part of Greggs’ commitment to embracing diversity, one of the company’s 10 pledges to make help make the world a better place by 2025. Greggs said that the award was “an important step in Greggs’ journey to continuously improve in this area, enhance D&I across the business and ensure its colleagues increasingly reflect the communities the company serves”.
