To reach this milestone, Dairygold developed a comprehensive DE&I roadmap, outlining ten planned initiatives designed to foster a more inclusive and equitable workplace. By the end of 2024, seven of these initiatives had been completed or were actively progressing. These included the establishment of a DE&I steering group, the development of a dignity at work policy, and the completion of a gender pay gap report.
