A Diversity and Inclusion Charter for the Brewing and Pub Industry
This Charter has been developed with the help of the BBPA’s members and it aims to enact real, long-term change on diversity and inclusion.
Our members have spearheaded fantastic, practical initiatives, and there are so many individuals who have led from the front and made sure their workplaces are truly Open To All.

Creating an open, diverse, and inclusive sector
Every organisation will be at a different stage in their diversity and inclusion journey; this Charter seeks to ensure a sector-wide commitment from the beer and pub industry to being diverse and inclusive.
The Charter is a broad guide and we encourage each signatory to use it alongside the toolkit to develop their own organisational actions and targets to track progress on diversity and inclusion.
The BBPA is committed to ensuring diversity and inclusion remains core issue for our sector and will ensure this Charter is a living document that is discussed, revisited and enacted by our members as well as within our own organisation.
In June 2023, the BBPA was honoured with the Diversity and Inclusion award at the Trade Association Forum Awards, recognising the development and success of the Open To All campaign as a model for best practice in the sector.
