Our commitment to Justice, Equity, Diversity and Inclusion
Le Nouveau Chef believes business is a force for good only when it works for everyone. We publicly commit to the principles of Justice, Equity, Diversity and Inclusion across our own organisation, our supply chain, our customers and the wider community we are part of.
- Justice: We work to remove barriers to opportunity, within our company and among the partners we manufacture with.
- Equity: We hold ourselves accountable for fair, safe and transparent policies and processes for everyone who works with and for us.
- Diversity: We value difference in age, gender, ethnicity, ability, background and lived experience, in our team, our supplier base and the people we serve.
- Inclusion: We build a culture where every voice is heard and valued.
Who this commitment covers
- Our people: fair recruitment, equal pay for equal work, development opportunities and a safe, respectful workplace.
- Our supply chain: we expect our manufacturing partners to uphold the same principles, as set out in our Responsible Business Conduct.
- Our customers: we treat every customer fairly and respectfully, aim to make our products and service accessible to the diverse professionals who wear them, and use marketing that represents the hospitality industry without stereotypes.
- Our wider community: we support the next generation of chefs and hospitality professionals, work together with industry partners, and our grievance procedure is open to anyone affected by our activities.
We review our policies and practices against these principles and report on our progress. This commitment is approved by the management of Le Nouveau Chef (Paul van Luipen, CEO, 20 October 2026).
