Depop’s 2025 UK Gender & Ethnicity Pay Gap report

At Depop, our mission to make fashion circular is closely linked to the diverse communities we support, both within our workplace and beyond.

As a UK-based organisation of approximately 500 people, we are committed to creating an environment that supports equal opportunities and empowers our employees and wider communities to grow.

This report sets out the results of our 2025 UK Gender and Ethnicity Pay Gap. Any UK employer with more than 250 employees is legally required to publish gender pay gap data annually, and we also voluntarily publish our ethnicity pay gap to support even further transparency.

Here’s where we made progress, and where continued focus is needed:

In 2025, both the median gender pay gap and median ethnicity pay gap increased. Representation of women in the upper pay quartile decreased, while the lowest pay quartile included a higher proportion of women and employees from underrepresented ethnicities (URE). The increase in representation of women and UREs in the lower quartiles reflects a continued focus on inclusive hiring and more entry-level roles that became available, impacting the overall pay gap calculation.

We increased overall representation of employees from underrepresented ethnicities, including increased representation within the highest pay quartile. This is a positive outcome of our commitment to developing and hiring talented people from underrepresented communities into higher paid roles.

In relation to bonuses, we continue to reduce our gender bonus gap, while our ethnicity bonus gap increased. We continue to monitor bonus outcomes as part of our broader approach to inclusion across pay and reward.

We remain committed to building a more inclusive workplace and culture, focusing on the actions needed to drive meaningful, long term progress. Our communities remain at the heart of Depop, and we will continue to create an environment where everyone feels valued.
