Absolute Collagen’s JEDI Policy

OUR COMMITMENT.

At Absolute Collagen, we believe everyone deserves to feel seen, respected, and supported - in beauty and beyond.

Justice, equity, diversity and inclusion (JEDI) are more than just policies here. They shape how we show up for each other, our customers and our community: with dignity, with fairness, and with purpose.

This commitment is backed by our Executive Team and made public - because transparency matters, and progress only happens when it’s shared.

4 CORE VALUES.

JEDI isn’t just something we say - it’s something we live. ACER is our 4-step guide for bringing these principles into everyday action:

1. Authenticity.

We act with honesty, openness and integrity - always.

2. Collaboration.

Progress takes partnership. We work across teams to build inclusion that actually sticks.

3. Equity.

We recognise different needs, remove barriers, and create space for everyone to thrive.

4. Respect.

Every person matters. We lead with dignity and make sure that ALL actions reflect that.

WHAT WE STAND FOR.

• Justice. We actively remove barriers and biases - because inclusion isn’t accidental, it’s intentional.
• Equity. We don’t treat everyone the same - we treat everyone fairly. That means recognising where support is needed and providing it.
• Diversity. We celebrate all identities, backgrounds, and stories – and champion representation at every level.
• Inclusion. We work to make every person feel like they belong. Because being included isn’t a nice-to-have - it’s a right.

HOW WE PUT IT INTO PRACTICE.

• Line managers (or other reporting channels)
• The HR Team
• The EDI Committee

THE POLICY POLICE

Doing the right thing isn’t a one-off and we’re BIG on accountability. Our policy is signed off by the Absolute Collagen Executive Team and reviewed annually to keep it relevant, compliant and continuously improving. And, we listen to our EDI Committee to keep things fresh and help shape what’s next.
