Gender Pay Gap Report

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.

All big businesses in the UK are required to report on their gender pay gap as of April 2017. We are encouraged to report that our mean gender pay gap is better than the national average.

AO is committed to diversity in the workplace

Statement from John Roberts, CEO.

“AO comprises a diverse range of operations from a nationwide logistics network to our industry-leading recycling plants to our offices. As such, our ambition is to reflect the wide-ranging communities that we serve by being an inclusive, diverse and equality-driven employer where everyone can succeed, grow their career and be rewarded for their efforts.

Last year we made significant progress in narrowing the gender pay gap in our business. There’s more to do but our progress this year is an indication of our passion and energy.

There’s no doubt this diversity of thought and contribution makes AO a better business for our customers and our employees.

We’ll continue to accelerate our progress by attracting a more diverse range of AOers to our business, which can only benefit our culture, ways of working and ultimately our performance.”
