Our impact: 2021

BMJ impact report 2021 | Striving for equity, promoting diversity and campaigning for social justice

“One of the best things about BMJ is its people.” This is a familiar phrase heard regularly amongst our staff from all backgrounds and working at all levels across our business. BMJ’s commitment to diversity and inclusion is one of the reasons that our culture is so unique. We will never discriminate against anyone based on race, gender, marital status, ethnic origin, nationality, disability, sexual orientation, religion, or age. This is not just a statement. It’s something we live and breathe every day: maintaining a workplace that welcomes everyone is part of what defines us. Our diversity and inclusion team celebrates the many different minorities that make up our workforce. Their encouragement has led volunteers within the organisation to create a series of dedicated support networks. These efforts seem to be working. We were incredibly proud to read a recent diversity data collection study that provided the welcome insight that our people feel they can be open and honest about who they are. Striving for equity, promoting diversity and campaigning for social justice Leading by example in equality, diversity, and inclusion

“I want BMJ as a company to have the most inclusive environment and be an active ally of all under- represented groups. I encourage everyone at work to speak out when they witness unjust behaviour and highlight areas where we can do better.” Chris Jones, CEO
