Diversity and Inclusion
At Lloyds, we’re building a bank that is truly representative of modern Britain – supporting our customers, communities, and colleagues.
Building an inclusive bank
We'll speak up and act when something could cause harm and offence.
We won’t tolerate discrimination, violent or offensive behaviour of any kind – whether racist, sexist, homophobic, transphobic, ageist, ableist etc. This applies across all our branches, offices, phone interactions, and online.
Those who do act in this way could be removed from our premises, have their calls terminated, or accounts closed. We may also refer cases to the police.
Our goal is to foster a safe and supportive environment for both our colleagues and customers. We are dedicated to doing the right thing and being allies to the communities we serve.
