Altruism, trust and respect are the basis of our approach
For us, diversity without inclusion and inclusion without diversity are not enough. Both are required and supported by a culture of altruism, trust and respect in order to maximise the collective intelligence of our organisation and to unlock the potential of all talent.
Creating an inclusive and diverse workplace
We are all defined by more than one characteristic, making us endlessly diverse. Applying an intersectional approach to addressing our diversity challenges is key to making sustainable progress.
(Active Workforce as at 31.08.2024)
Inclusion and diversity strategy
With our business strategy as our pole star, our I&D strategy focuses on three key pillars. For each of these pillars, we aim at nurturing a healthy workforce and looking at diversity from the perspectives of gender identity, disability, race and ethnicity, sexual orientation, age and social background. And because we are all defined by more than just one of those traits, we address our I&D challenges with an intersectional lens.

The initiatives we support
To be able to support initiatives that matter to us, we have created a multitude of local and global partnerships covering the broad range of I&D topics. Furthermore, we have underlined our commitment by signing the UK Government’s Women in Finance Charter and LGBTI UN Standards of Conduct for business.
Our “Women in Finance Charter” commitment
As a signatory to the Women in Finance Charter, we are committed to supporting the progression of women into senior roles in the financial services sector and to reporting publicly on the progress made against internal ambitions on gender equality.
Our ambition is to have at least 30% women in global senior management positions by end of 2024.
New ambitions will be set from 2025 onwards, reflecting our continued commitment to working for more balanced gender representation.

Succeeding as yourself, together
Our commitment to Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) involves making sure we have a diverse workforce, are creating an inclusive workplace and are positively contributing to our industry and wider society. In turn, these efforts enable us to become increasingly diverse, equitable and inclusive by the day.

What do we mean by DEI
In essence, inclusion is reflected in our behaviours and processes, enabling everyone to contribute their best.
Diversity – the mix of visible and invisible traits that make each individual unique, such as gender, age, disability,nationality, ethnicity, sexual orientation, cultural background, personality type and family status.
Equity – by allocating the necessary resources, individuals can be provided with equal opportunities to achieve the same goals, regardless of their background or circumstances.
Inclusion – the behaviours we demonstrate and the processes we use to enable everyone to give their best. Our inclusive culture embraces and values our differences. It also encourages us to feel free to be who we truly are.
Our DEI strategy
Our DEI strategy applies to all aspects of diversity, emphasising gender balance, disability, neurodiversity, age, ethnicity, sexual orientation, and gender identity. Recognising that we embody a combination of these traits, we prioritise an intersectional approach, addressing diversity challenges holistically for lasting progress. Alongside increasing minority representation, we are committed to fostering an equitable and inclusive workplace through fair, unbiased systems, equal access, and a supportive culture. To achieve this, our DEI strategy intentionally integrates DEI principles across everything we do, focusing on three pillars: Workforce, Workplace, and Marketplace.

Together, we can create a positive, supportive environment for all.
