Investing in people
Equity, diversity and inclusion
Our commitment
Our equity, diversity and inclusion strategy is embedded in our values. We are committed to achieving a workplace and culture where our people feel connected to Aston Martin’s purpose, that they have a voice, are listened to and will receive equal opportunity to develop and reach their full potential.
Our goal
Provide purposeful employment for all our employees in a diverse and inclusive workplace.
The sections below highlight how we are embedding equity, diversity and inclusion across our business through governance, employee engagement and targeted initiatives.
EDI governance structure
To deliver our pledge, we have established an EDI governance structure that brings together both a corporate and employee-led approach. Reports on progress and actions are submitted to the Board Sustainability Committee who provide oversight in line with the Terms of Reference for the Committee.
Gender diversity
Women continue to be underrepresented in the automotive industry, and we are committed to improving gender balance across our organisation. Our goal remains aligned with the wider sector ambition of achieving 30% women in our workforce by 2030, reflecting the importance of diverse teams in driving innovation and performance.
Our annual Gender Pay Gap Report helps us measure progress and informs initiatives to recruit, develop and retain talented people across the business.
Employee-led EDI activity
Employee engagement is central to our EDI approach. Our 'I AM Inclusion' network brings together colleagues who are passionate about promoting inclusion, challenging established ways of working and ensuring every voice is heard.
We have six dedicated strands within our network which focus on different areas of EDI. These strands have been voted for by our employees to ensure we represent the demographics at Aston Martin. Each strand has a chair and co-chair, and the overarching space is sponsored by an executive sponsor. Both sponsors and chairs are nominated and voted for by employees.
