We believe in positive impact for all.
At Amplify, Seed and Wonder, it has always been important to us to think and act responsibly. This is why we are committed to adopting considered, conscious-decision making as standard, aiming to improve the impact we have on our people, the wider landscape our work exists within, and the planet we live on.
We recognise that systems of inequality sustain and worsen disadvantages for marginalised groups. As a global creative collective, we acknowledge our power and influence to shape culture and therefore know we have a responsibility to take strategic, restorative action to ensure every individual is treated with respect and lives with dignity.
Our commitment to Justice, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (JEDI) is a living roadmap focusing on continuous improvement and evolution, not a destination. It provides a framework for accountability, encompassing all our stakeholders. Our work in progress mentality means we question decisions everyday to find the inch of improvement that helps us channel energy toward positive impacts for all.
What is a JEDI Action Plan?
Our JEDI Action Plan outlines specific and intentional ways to adopt principles of justice, equity, diversity and inclusion within our workplace and communities.
It keeps us accountable to channel energy towards positive impacts for all - and particularly for those systematically disadvantaged.
Why is it important?
Systems of inequality, both historic and ongoing, sustain and worsen disadvantages faced by certain groups. To combat this, companies including ours need to take strategic and restorative action to ensure every individual is treated with respect and lives with dignity.
Stakeholder involvement
Effective JEDI work incorporates diverse perspectives that represent the company’s context. Accountability for our commitment and progress is established at Board level and applies to all our stakeholders.
Our plan has been developed using stakeholder feedback and is inherently linked to other areas of our responsibility positioning. The following social identities have been considered in the development of our JEDI Action Plan; sex, gender identity, race, ethnicity, age, sexual orientation, lived experiences, parental status, differing abilities. This list is non-exhaustive.
Living roadmap
We know JEDI work is about continuous improvement and evolution, not a destination. Our five-year Action Plan provides us with a clear framework for accountability: we celebrate our successes, but more importantly if we don’t make the mark, we’re committed to understanding where and why so that we can continue to improve. We will continue to share our JEDI commitment statement and action plan progress publicly.
