Women in Finance Charter update 2025
We signed up to the Women in Finance Charter in 2018, committing to achieve a 50/50 gender balance across our entire business, including our senior leadership population. This target reflects our dedication to ensuring equal representation, opportunity, and inclusion for all.
In 2022, female representation stood at 30% within our senior management and 12.5% on our Executive Committee (ExCo). Since then, we’ve made significant progress: today, 41% of our senior management and 38% of our ExCo team are women. These milestones mark meaningful steps toward a more balanced and inclusive leadership.
We continue to champion and empower our female colleagues through a range of impactful initiatives, including:
- Mentorship and development programmes
- Succession planning
- Our Women in Target network
- Activities led by our Diversity, Equity and Inclusion forum
Our efforts have also led to a significant reduction in our gender pay gap, which reflects our unwavering commitment to building a workplace where everyone has equal opportunities to thrive.
Looking ahead, we remain focused on our goal: achieving 50% female representation across senior leadership and closing the gender pay gap entirely by 2030. This ambition is central to our vision of a fairer, more inclusive future for all.
