Gender in the UK

Balancing business, together

A gender-balanced workplace, where all people feel supported, is central to building a better business and a better world.

Championed by our Balance in Business network, we’re working to ensure we level the playing field so gender isn't a factor for career success.  

As part of our Gender Plan, we have:

  • appointed Sian Skelton to our UK Executive Board to lead on Diversity & Inclusion
  • established an Appointments Review Committee to consider leadership appointments
  • increased our proportion of female partners and the number of women in leadership roles
  • taken steps to remove any perceived barriers to progression and refocused our recruitment activity.
