WGSN is a responsible business
WGSN is focused on supporting our community and having a positive impact on people, the planet, and the customers we serve.
Equality vision
We are committed to attracting, retaining, developing and engaging a diverse workforce, and we will work constantly to ensure everyone at WGSN feels comfortable being themselves. This is our path to ensure a sustainable future for our organisation and to make a positive impact on our people, customers and society.
As part of our commitment to building a more equitable and inclusive future, we have the following affinity groups in our business.
We are dedicated to empowering women throughout the business in any role, level or region.
BiB is a safe space for Black colleagues to network, share experiences, celebrate diversity, and be a sounding board for change within WGSN and its community.
We are committed to creating a respectful and affirming workplace and culture for our LGBTQIAPN+ communities (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex, asexual, pansexual and non-binary), promoting equality and inclusivity through our policies and practices.
WGSN’s Sustainability Board is a highly active, dedicated steering group of in-house, cross-industry, sustainability ambassadors. Through its research, reporting, recommendations and tools, it gives WGSN’s customers the confidence to create better, improving their environmental contribution and shift to circular and regenerative design.
The Sustainability Board runs a range of initiatives to upskill our teams and our clients’ teams; from educational networking events and workshops, to a comprehensive sustainability glossary to enhance the depth of our reporting, as well as cross-industry reports to inspire sector transformation. It is our goal to become the global go-to forecasting authority on sustainability strategy for the industries we serve.
Operating responsibly
WGSN’s suppliers, partners and other third parties involved in the provision of goods or services are important to us. They underpin our ability to serve our customers and while delivering our valued and trusted products it is important to us that we and our suppliers do business responsibly, ethically and lawfully.
Third party code of conduct
WGSN has implemented a Third Party Code of Conduct which outlines our ethical approach to doing business and explains the standards we strive to ensure that all our suppliers should abide by, and we also expect our suppliers’ suppliers to adhere to it.
The WGSN Code
The WGSN Code provides an overview of our key compliance commitments. It sets out our expectations in terms of ethical and lawful conduct for our people, and our external partners. It serves as an essential guide, setting out our standards and expectations as a business, and signposting the people who are available to help should questions arise.
