We care about equal opportunities and diversity at Abbey Group
The Equal Status Acts 2000–2015 (Ireland) and the Equality Act 2010 (UK) both aim to promote equality and inclusion. They prohibit discrimination, harassment, and victimisation across multiple protected grounds, such as gender, civil and family status, pregnancy and maternity, sexual orientation, religion, age, disability, race and ethnicity, and membership of the traveller community. Both ensure fairness, dignity, and equal opportunity in all areas of society.
We consistently encourage our people to contribute, act and make decisions guided by our values to create a values-based work environment for all. Our Dignity at work policy outlines the standards of behaviour which are unacceptable, that the Abbey group is committed to protecting the dignity of all its employees.
In our daily work, company activities, policies and practices, the company promotes the principle that the reality of diversity is about being able to work effectively with others who do not share an employee’s background, experience or self-identification.
Abbey Group diversity is a vital competitive advantage to the operation of Abbey Group business.
