Creating Balance
Our people and culture have always been a huge priority at AO. Any success we experience comes from our people being who they are, loving what they do and striving to reach their full potential. We know this will only happen if we create a working environment where people feel equal, as well as supported on their journey through the business.

AO is committed to diversity in the workplace
Statement from John Roberts, CEO.
“AO is all about having the very best, passionate people working in a high-performance culture that is diverse, equitable and inclusive. This enables every AOer to flourish and support our customers, communities and partners to the best of their abilities.
Our long-term success depends on equity of opportunity where every AOer knows the sky is the limit in their career, regardless of gender, ethnicity, or other protected characteristics.
We have made significant progress in female representation at senior leadership levels over the past two years. By the end of 2024, 33% of our senior management and leadership roles are held by women, close to our target of 34%. We will continue to support women to look to a career in leadership through our Women in Leadership programme.
Monitoring our progress towards these goals helps us identify further actions to improve representation – especially in underrepresented fields like technology.
