Doing things in the right way means ensuring everyone is looked after, from our people to those in our local communities. Our approach is led by our strong values, with a focus on putting our people first and giving back to those who need it most.
Our primary consumers are young people, and we want to support them with more than just refreshment. Therefore, we are committed to improving the lives of young people who need it most.
Focus areas:
Putting our people first
Inclusion & Diversity:
We are committed to improving both inclusion and diversity, these two commitments are inseparable – we’ve learnt you can only unlock the potential of a diverse team by creating an environment where people can bring their whole selves to work.
What’s more, we know we are at our best when we bring our different life experiences, ways of thinking, and individuality to work and feel empowered to make those part of everything we do.
Employee Wellbeing:
Our commitment to a Happier Future is reflected in the way we look after every one of our employees. After all, day in, day out, our employees are the ones delivering our vision and living our values.
We’ve been around long enough to know you cannot create value without people feeling valued. This begins by prioritising our employees’ wellbeing.
Key Progress in 2024
This year we completed initiatives in each of our focus areas: inclusion and diversity, employee development and employee wellbeing, engagement and satisfaction. We received high engagement with our Inclusion Hub, posting resources on topics including women’s health and neurodiversity. We also hosted education and awareness workshops, including an inclusive language workshop, to grow a sense of belonging among employees.

Giving back to our local communities
We believe that every young person matters, yet in today’s society, access to opportunities is not equal.
We are committed to improving the lives of those young people who need it most – offering a leg up by raising aspirations for their futures and providing opportunities to develop meaningful skills and careers.
Key Progress in 2024
Since 2022, through our community partnerships and Camp Vimto programme, we have made a tangible difference to over 72 young peoples’ lives in the UK and Africa. We are on track to reach our 2025 commitment of 100 young people.
This year we focussed on the development of a more structured approach to our community partnerships to increase the impact we can have in the future.
