For global tea brewer T2 with a three-year D&I strategy already in progress, this sharp focus led to many reflections and lessons learned in bringing to life the T2 organisational manifesto and values.

Come along to learn about the practical ups and downs of fostering a culture of D&I - it’s a truly inspiring story.
