Diversity and Inclusion

As a size inclusive brand we understand and value diversity. We take pride in having an inclusive environment and workplace. We respect unconditionally and have a positive regard for all people. We believe everyone should feel fabulous, no matter your size, age, background or how you identify.

We strive for continuous improvement and are committed to equity and inclusion across all levels of our business. Our recruitment and selection process is based on role requirements, individual qualifications and business needs without the regard to age, gender, identity, or race.

Charity partners

At Taking Shape we believe strongly in helping women achieve economic independence. It’s why we are proud to support ‘fitted for work’ in their endeavours to help women experiencing disadvantage, to get work, keep work and navigate their world of work.

We’ve been donating 1000’s of items of clothing since 2009 through our charitable giving program helping make a difference to so many women’s lives

We believe we can build stronger communities when we all work together. We have a long association with Fareshare, who rescue quality food from supermarkets, farmers and other businesses and use it to make up nutritious meals for those in need. Through our staff volunteering and fundraising, we aim to make a positive difference for others in our community by supporting Fareshare in their important work.

Sustainability and Modern Slavery

At Taking shape we have and will continue to operate in a way that is responsible towards our people and planet. We recognise the important role that we play and are committed to making a difference.
