Across the group, the balance across the pay quartiles was also improved, and at the forefront of closing the gap was the company’s Toolstation business, where the pay gap is now 0.6 per cent, and there is a consistent distribution of gender across all quartile roles.

In line with the The Gender Pay Gap Regulations, Travis Perkins has reported annually on the gender pay gap since 2017.

“Last year we made significant progress in narrowing the gender pay gap in our business and achieved some major milestones on our journey to become a more inclusive employer,” Travis Perkins HR director Emma Rose said.

“This involved making significant progress towards paying the Real Living Wage to our colleagues, and launching new, progressive Family Leave policies.

“We have much more to do but our progress this year is an indication of the passion and energy we have to be seen as a modern and inclusive employer.

“We will continue to accelerate this progress by committing to attract a more diverse range of colleagues to our business, which can only benefit our culture, ways of working, and of course, business performance.”

Furthermore, in 2018 and 2019, the FDA sent notices to a substantial number of CBD manufacturers advising them of serious concerns about product quality or egregious medical claims. The impirica brand looks different than most CBD brands — the brand name itself connotes testing and trust, says Eagle Labs chief commercial officer Michael Law. “It doesn’t use the traditional category colors of browns and greens, and you won’t find a hemp...
