MATCHESFASHION.COM has announced that it will launch a Black Employees Forum in response to the deaths of George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery, and Breonna Taylor and the global reaction to these events. 

MATCHESFASHION’s Chief Executive Ajay Kavan Tweeted what actions the company will take to ensure that it is more inclusive and diverse. These actions will include the introduction of a Black Employees Forum, aimed at bolstering the diversity of designers the company retails and how it will encourage more black people to want to work for MATCHESFASHION. 

Ajay said: “I have started to consult with a number of our black colleagues, and I was distressed to hear them share some of their experiences. At the suggestion of one of our colleagues, a Black Employees Forum is being established. The forum will enable us to continue to consult with our communities and work with them to put into action a racial equality learning programme across the business over the next few weeks.”
