River Island has partnered with the Stephen Lawrence Charitable Trust as part of its commitment to promoting a consciously inclusive business. With the support of the SLCT, River Island will continue to invest in improving recruitment and professional development of diverse talent across all tiers of the business. The intention is to tap into the specialist network that the SLCT provides to audit, review and evolve the business' policies and activity around diversity and inclusion. 

Will Kernan, River Island CEO, said: "It’s our customers and colleagues that make River Island what it is. We're a diverse bunch, united by a love of fashion. That diversity broadens our experience and enriches our creativity."
