People and communities
Our people are central to delivering our strategy and long-term success. Building a team of people who bring a diverse range of talents and perspectives, and who feel engaged in their role, is of paramount importance to our long-term success.
We focus on safety, engagement, diversity and responsible business practices to ensure our people can thrive and we create positive social impact.
How we support our people and communities
Safety and wellbeing
Safety is our first priority and we aim to achieve ‘zero harm’ across our operations.
In 2025, we continued to embed our thinkSAFE programme, reinforcing consistent safety behaviours and leadership accountability.
Following an increase in our lost-time accident rate to 0.18, we undertook root cause analysis and introduced targeted actions, including the thinkSAFE Leaders programme to strengthen frontline capability.
Diversity and inclusion
We are committed to building a diverse and inclusive workforce that reflects the markets and communities we serve.
In 2025, 36% of leadership roles were held by women, supported by targeted recruitment, development and mentoring initiatives.
Our Women@Morgan network supports inclusion and engagement globally, while at Board level we achieved 50% female representation, reflecting our commitment to diverse leadership.
Engaging our people
An engaged workforce is critical to delivering our strategy.
Our ‘Your Voice’ survey reported an engagement score of 75% in 2025, reflecting continued progress.
We act on feedback from our survey locally and globally, focusing on what matters most to employees. Development programmes, employee resource groups and regular communication also help us attract, retain and develop talent across the organisation.
Supporting our communities
We aim to have a positive impact in the communities where we operate, with initiatives led locally by our teams.
In 2025, our activities included:
- Education and STEM engagement
- Community fundraising and donation initiatives
- Support for local healthcare and wellbeing
- Scholarship and development programmes
These activities strengthen our connection with local communities and reflect the commitment of our people.
Operating responsibly
Our approach is guided by the Morgan Code, which sets expectations for working safely, ethically and fairly.
Through clear policies, consistent standards and active engagement with employees and stakeholders, we ensure we operate responsibly across all our locations.

Our 2030 goals |
Progress in 2025 |
|---|---|---|
|
Zero harm to our employees. |
0.10 lost time accident rate |
2025 LTA rate 0.18 (2024 0.13). We were disappointed to see that our LTA rate increased in 2025. Through accident and incident root cause analysis we identified a skills gap among frontline site leaders in balancing safety leadership with production and people responsibilities. In response, we launched the ThinkSAFE Leaders programme to strengthen safety leadership capability and reinforce expectations for sustaining a proactive safety culture. |
|
Our employee demographics will be inclusive and reflective of the communities in which we operate. |
40% of our leadership population will be female |
In 2025, 34% of our leadership population is female, compared to 30% in 2023. In 2025, Women@Morgan continued empowering women globally, by increasing internal engagement through topics relevant to all employees. We marked International Women’s Day with a well attended online webinar on allyship, alongside on site celebrations such as female empowerment film screenings and the King’s Trust ‘Brilliant Breakfast’ initiative. |
|
A work environment where all employees are valued and can do their best work. |
Top quartile engagement score |
The overall engagement score, as per our 2025 'Your Voice' survey was 75%, up from 52% in 2024, with a response rate of 81% (2024: 81%). The results showed that employees recognise the priority we give to health and safety, that our strategy and purpose are clear and that we work hard to exceed the expectations of our customers with innovative products and solutions. |
We are committed to creating a diverse and inclusive culture, as our people are the driving force behind our success.
