What has been the biggest changes in society? All of us will remember 2020 as the year our lives were turned upside down by Covid-19. It’s hard to overestimate the impact that had on not just our physical health and our daily lives, but also on our mental health, with rates of depression doubling during the first six months of lockdown. The Black Lives Matter movement also stands out, shining a light on the systemic issues facing Black people and people of colour around the world. And of course, climate change is ever-present. 2020 showed that we can all mobilise to change. What impact have these issues had on ITV and its Social Purpose? I think it shows that purpose-driven business is more important than ever before.

Attracting the best talent from a wide range of backgrounds, creating an inclusive culture where all colleagues can flourish, and making programmes that appeal to wide and diverse audiences are all hugely important priorities to our business. I feel incredibly proud to work for ITV and this has been an extraordinary year. I would like to acknowledge the passion and commitment ITV colleagues have displayed to drive this agenda forward and particularly the hard work of and the important role that our colleague Network Groups have played.
