The Distillers’ Company wants everyone who encounters its work to feel respected, welcome and able to take part with confidence.
Its policies turn that intention into clear expectations. They explain the culture the Company is working to create, the conduct expected during Company business and events, and how someone can raise a concern when those standards are not met.
The Company values the different perspectives, experience and knowledge people bring. It aims to widen participation and build a Livery in which members, prospective members and guests feel comfortable, valued and included.
