Diversity and Inclusion Embracing and celebrating our diversity

Our culture in action A welcoming environment for everyone

We’re committed to promoting equality in the workplace and creating an inclusive and flexible culture – one where everyone can realise their full potential and make a positive contribution to our organisation.

We see diversity and inclusion (D&I) as a major strength of our business, and our commitment to it is driven from our Management team and Global D&I council, that set and measure our equality targets. We also constantly review policies and procedures to ensure they are fair and equal.

Striving for gender balance

We’re passionate about achieving a better gender balance in our organisation and in the financial industry as a whole.

By building a more balanced workforce, especially at more senior levels, we believe the industry will be able to unlock innovation and manage risk better. It's why we're open about our workforce demographics and our pledge to have women occupy 30% of the top four senior roles in 2020.

Welcoming all abilities

Our aim is to understand and focus on what people can do and we strive to be a truly inclusive employer.

We follow the International Labour Organisation best practices to ensure our working environments are accessible to all. We also have a Global Disability Network that connects employees of all abilities around the world, and fosters a supportive and empowering environment for colleagues and clients with disabilities.

Good health is fundamental to our well-being, whether at work or at home. It's why all our colleagues also have access to universal healthcare, and our employee assistance programme provides 24/7 access to professional counsellors to manage stress or offer general support. Mental health first-aiders are on hand across the organisation, as well as programmes and support on mental wellbeing.
