Freedom. Respect. Responsibility.

Anita Richards Designs acknowledges the importance of diversity, equity and inclusion across all spectra of race, colour, gender, sex, sexuality, language, religion, age, ability/disability, health status, political or other opinion, national or social origin, economic status, property, birth or other status in a true spirit of accord with the principles enshrined in The Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

We are committed to creating and maintaining a safe and inclusive customer environment and workplace.

We consider the use of any form of abusive or discriminatory behaviours as an inexcusable violation of human rights. We want our colleagues, customers, business partners and the wider community to know that we value and respect all people.

We recognize that addressing conscious and unconscious bias is an ongoing effort within ourselves, our organisation and society at large.

We are committed to never being complacent in our efforts to ensure our workplace, customer environment, and our product lines, appropriately and authentically reflect the values of genuinely inclusive society.
