"...takes equal opportunities very seriously, we are disappointed with the outcome in this case on that part of the claim where we were unsuccessful".
I suggest that while it is double talk on a grand scale, there is a linguistic escape clause of sorts. We all interpret "takes equal opportunities very seriously" to mean that they support equal opportunities.
Now consider this: "we take the theft of company property very seriously". Would any of us interpret that as meaning that they are fully supportive of the theft of company property? I suggest not.
