We believe that businesses should create positive change for people and the planet, and it is our priority to ensure our business benefits the environment and the communities we operate in.
Our values are deeply ingrained in our ways of working and our drive to unite everybody around a common goal: making WGSN a great working environment where equality and diversity are integral to everything we do.
We operate responsibly based on a three-pillar foundation
Employees
We aim to foster an inclusive and equitable culture so that people feel comfortable bringing their authentic selves to WGSN.
Customers
We deliver insights that our customers – and their customers – need to future-proof their products and services.
Society
We are focused on creating a brighter, more equal society, starting with our own company and the industries we work in.
Equality vision
WGSN is passionate about promoting equality across our industry and beyond.
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.
Employee resource networks
Each network has been formalised with its own governance structure and executive sponsor.
Empower
We are dedicated to empowering women throughout the business in any role, level or region.
Black in Business
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.
Pride
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.
Supporting our social-impact partners
Helping people connect and drive progress isn’t a business-only goal. We know the world is a better place when we all lead with heart and support charitable causes that make a difference.
Future Makers
Launched in July 2020, the WGSN Future Makers mentorship programme partners people from underserved communities with mentors from WGSN, covering everything from design and content to sales and HR. We draw on our global pool of knowledge to match everyone with a mentor best placed to help them. In 2023, we established an exclusive partnership with Blossom Academy in Ghana which continued into 2024.
Tricky Trends
WGSN’s Tricky Trends team evaluates problematic trends and terms and provides guidance on alternatives and substitutes that better reflect the world we live in today, and the world we want to live in tomorrow.
Together, we create tomorrow
At WGSN, responsibility is at the heart of everything we do. From sustainable sourcing to ethical business practices, we are dedicated to creating a positive impact – for today, tomorrow and far into the future.
We invite you to join us on this journey. Whether you’re a customer, partner or part of our team, together we can build a more sustainable, equitable, and responsible future.
