Women in Finance

Building a fair and balanced industry

We are a proud signatory of HM Treasury’s Women in Finance Charter. The Charter reflects the government’s aspiration to see gender balance in senior management across the financial services industry. We are committed to working together with the government and the wider financial services sector to help build a more balanced and fair industry.

As part of our commitment to the Charter, we have developed a strategy aimed at promoting gender diversity within our management population and at all levels across our organisation. Take a look at the Women in Finance Charter.

In 2017 female representation in senior management was 29.1%. We have made commitments, set targets and driven a wide range of initiatives since signing the Women in Finance Charter in September 2016, meeting our initial targets in 2021.

As of 31.07.24 we have 37.5% female representation in senior management and 44.4% female representation on our Executive Committee.

We believe that we are on track to meet our new target of 39.5% female representation in senior management by the end of 2025.
