Kantar

Ranked No.1 – 2025/2026

Introduction

2025 marks a landmark year for Kantar. For the first time in its history, Kantar has been ranked Number 1 in the Inclusive Top 50 UK Employers Index, securing the top position in one of the UK’s most respected benchmarks for workplace equity, diversity and inclusion.

Kantar is the world’s leading, tech-enabled marketing data and analytics business, working with 98 of the world’s top 100 most valuable brands. With circa 3,000 colleagues in the UK and 25,000 globally, Kantar’s purpose, better understanding people everywhere, starts from within. This number one ranking recognises an organisation where inclusion is embedded not as a standalone initiative, but as a core driver of business performance, culture, talent strategy and client impact.

Kantar’s rise to the top of the Index reflects sustained, organisation-wide commitment: from values-led leadership and empowered employee networks, to inclusive design, ethical governance and data-driven accountability.

Judges comment: “There’s remarkable depth and authenticity in how they connect people across identities and geographies. Accessible design, flexible working and intersectional ERGs aren’t just initiatives – they’re engines of belonging that genuinely shift culture. This is inclusion lived out loud – confident, connected and courageous.”
