Diversity, Equity and Inclusion is an integral part of who we are and how we do business. 

We’re dedicated to continuing to foster an environment where differences are valued, and practices are equitable. Everyone who works at Farrow & Ball should feel the kind of inclusion that allows them to be their true selves and contribute their best. We’re a socially committed company in support of human rights, respect and dignity for all. 

We never tolerate discrimination on the basis of race, age, disability, religion or belief, sexual orientation, sex, gender reassignment or family status, including pregnancy. 

In 2024, we established an internal cross-functional group: ‘Better Together’. The group works to ensure diverse voices are always heard throughout our organisation. 

We also proudly support United in Design: a charitable organisation established in 2020 by Interior Designer Sophie Ashby and Design Lecturer Alexandria Dauley. United in Design is driven by a need for an equal opportunity pathway into the interior design industry for people from ethnic minority and socio-economically disadvantaged backgrounds.

Gender Pay and Representation

We’re committed to equal pay and we’re proud to say that we don’t have a gender pay gap, which you can find out more about in the Gender Pay Report we publish every year. Our data also shows that we have a higher representation of women in our workforce compared to men, which is unusual for a manufacturer.

Fair Pay

We believe in rewarding a job well done. As a global employer, we meet the legal requirements in every country where we have employees. In the UK, we pay above the national minimum wage. We also carry out an annual pay review for all of our employees around the world, based on the performance of both the business and the individual.
