ALT We know there has been a lot of debate over the weekend, and we would like to provide more clarity on where we stand. At Spark we believe the internet should be an inclusive space for all people, regardless of gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation, or any other factor. We have a very long history of supporting women, particularly through improved gender representation, progression, and by reducing the gender pay gap. We are also strong supporters of the LGBTQ+ community. We recognise there are wide ranging views on how to create safe spaces in both the online and offline world and we will continue to live up to our own values, and our belief in diversity and inclusion, while respecting each person’s right to their own view. We know our original posts did not reflect this well, and that’s something we will learn from. We hope that this provides more context and some assurance that we support inclusivity and safe environments for all people.
