Valuing People

At Corby, we treat everyone we work with as family – from our employees to our customers to our suppliers. It’s a top priority because we know that diverse thinking contributes to creativity, boldness and the growth of our business. To provide win-win memorable experiences to all our stakeholders it is important we build a culture that highly values variety of thought, those willing to challenge the status quo, those who think differently from one another, and who come from differing backgrounds and cultures.

At Corby, we recognize that our people are our greatest asset, and we are committed to fostering an inclusive and supportive workplace that values diversity and promotes well-being. As part of our Valuing People pillar, we have established key targets that reflect our dedication to creating a fair and equitable environment.
