Abstract	The Belle II collaboration comprises over 1000 international high energy physicists, who investigate the properties of b-quarks and other particles at the luminosity frontier. In order to achieve our aim of a successful physics program, it is essential that we enable contributions from a diverse community, whether that be diversity in gender, sexuality, or disability, to name a few. 2018 saw the election of two officers to lead in this task, by promoting an inclusive atmosphere, raising awareness of diversity, and being a safe first point of call for issues of discrimination and harassment. This poster will summarise the above efforts, as well as examine the demographics of our community. We are committed to ensuring our scientific collaboration evolves towards being an accurate reflection of the global population.
