Thriving at Work

Respected. Included. Peforming at our best.

Our Commitment

Sellafield Ltd recognise that to be an inclusive employer, we have to treat our diverse workforce with respect and integrity, and we must all recognise and value the contribution that is made by everyone.

Inclusion is one of our four corporate values. We respect and include individuals and create an environment in which people grow, develop and perform at their best.

ED&I Strategy

The Sellafield Ltd ED&I Strategy originally developed in 2016, committed to ensuring that no one should feel that they are unable to aspire to serve in some of the most exciting and rewarding roles in the UK because of their ethnicity, life experience, background, gender or any other individual characteristics.

Our current strategy aims to:

  • Transform our business into a more diverse and inclusive place to work
  • Encourage diversity of experience and thought
  • Advance equality of opportunity
