As a regional consultancy, our customers are local micro and small enterprises in the food and drink sector, and we work with suppliers and customers across several communities. Our decisions about hiring, pay, promotion, sourcing, and customer service affect people’s opportunities, safety, and day‑to‑day experiences.

In our work on JEDI, we are especially accountable to our small suppliers, and customers who may face barriers related to income, disability, language, or migration status. We recognise that many of these stakeholders have less power to influence our decisions or easily choose a different employer or service provider.

For us, Justice, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion mean:

• Identifying and addressing unfair barriers and harms in and around our business; 

• Working toward fair access to opportunities and outcomes;

• Valuing a wide range of identities and experiences;

• Creating conditions where people can participate and speak up with dignity and without fear of retaliation. 

We are committed to operating in a just, equitable, and inclusive way in our operations, for our customers, and in the communities we impact. While we actively appreciate and value diversity throughout.

Our directors are responsible for approving this commitment, overseeing it, and ensuring it is reflected in our policies and practices across our operations, our products and services, and our relationships with customers and communities. They are accountable for explaining this commitment to our stakeholders and for reviewing it when needed.

This policy is reviewed by the Maia Growth Partners team at least once per year for consistency and to audit whether edits or additions should be made.
