Guardian News & Media Ltd (GNM) is committed to promoting equality and diversity in all aspects of its business. GNM aspires to promote a diverse, inclusive and representative working environment in which everyone is treated with dignity and respect. Our policy embodies an ethical rejection of discrimination, not just a compliance with statutory requirements. The promotion of equality and diversity is pursued through GNM's recruitment and selection procedures, training, career development, disciplinary procedures and all other aspects of the Company's management. The main consideration in appointments is evidence of the ability or potential of the candidate to deliver a high quality performance in the requirements of the job. GNM accepts that it will be judged on actions and results rather than well meaning intentions. To reflect our commitment, the Board of Directors established an Equality and Diversity Steering Group in May 2002 and appointed a board diversity champion and has as a result, adopted an Equality and Diversity strategy. Equal Opportunities Monitoring To help us progress our equality and diversity initiatives, we are asking applicants to complete an Equal Opportunities Monitoring Questionnaire as part of their application form. The information you provide will enable us to monitor the people we employ. We stress that any information you give will be strictly confidential and will only be used for the purposes of monitoring and statistical analysis. The form will not be seen by anyone involved in the recruitment and selection process. We appreciate that some people may find some of the questions personal and you are not obliged to answer all of the questions. But you will appreciate that in order to monitor and improve our equal opportunities policies and procedures we aspire to have a 100% response rate.
