#EmbraceEquity

We celebrate women and their achievements all year round and when it comes to International Women’s Day, we use the time to reflect on the progress we’ve made towards equality and set our sights on where to go next.

Increasing gender diversity

We’ve signed the Women in Finance Charter for six years running because we want to build a diverse culture. Driven by the HM Treasury, the initiative is a commitment from firms to work together and support women into senior roles in the financial services sector.

Our targets

To help increase female representation, we set ourselves a target of having 40% of women in senior positions by 2026. We’re pleased we’ve met this target, but we’re not going to let that stop us from doing more.

Our progress
