Jennifer Barker named Global Chair of 30% Club

LONDON, March 6, 2025 鈥- 30% Club, a business-led campaign to boost female representation at the board and C-Suite level in the world鈥檚 biggest companies, has announced the appointment of Jennifer Barker, Global Head of Treasury Services and Depositary Receipts at BNY, as its fifth Global Chair.

Jennifer brings a wealth of financial services experience and was recently named as one of 鈥楾he Most Powerful Women in Banking鈥 by American Banker. In addition to her responsibilities spearheading BNY鈥檚 Treasury Services and Depositary Receipts businesses, Jennifer is a member of the BNY Executive Committee. Jennifer serves on the Ross School of Business Advisory Board, the board of Physicians for Peace and is a member of the Dallas Chamber of Commerce鈥檚 Executive Women鈥檚 Roundtable.

At BNY, Jennifer previously served as the Executive Sponsor for WIN, the company鈥檚 employee resource group supporting the retention and advancement of women, and today proudly serves as the Executive Sponsor for VETNET, BNY鈥檚 employee resource group supporting veterans, military spouses, family members and their colleagues.

鈥淚鈥檓 delighted to take on this role as Global Chair of 30% Club,鈥 said听Jennifer Barker, Global Head of Treasury Services and Depositary Receipts at BNY. 鈥淚 firmly believe an environment where all people can fully contribute, be themselves, and share their unique perspectives, ultimately leads to better commercial outcomes. That鈥檚 why I鈥檓 committed to advancing the campaign鈥檚 goal of encouraging CEOs and Chairs to strengthen every stage of their talent pipeline and cultivate the conditions for future leaders to not only thrive but progress into senior, decision-making positions.鈥

Jennifer succeeds Hanneke Smits, who assumed the role of Global Chair in February 2023. Under Hanneke鈥檚 leadership, 30% Club evolved its mission to ensure that businesses target diversity beyond the boardroom and in the C-suite.

鈥淥n behalf of 30% Club鈥檚 global chapters and members, we are delighted to welcome Jennifer as Global Chair,鈥 said Hanneke Smits, outgoing Global Chair of 30% Club. 鈥淎s a leader of some of BNY鈥檚 fastest-growing revenue-generating businesses, Jennifer is a fantastic role model to drive forward the campaign鈥檚 aim of addressing barriers to progression to senior roles, particularly P&L roles which give leaders a higher career path success for coveted CEO and Chair positions.鈥

鈥淚t has been a true privilege to serve as Global Chair,鈥 added Hanneke. 鈥淚 remain a fervent advocate of 30% Club鈥檚 strategic goals, and I鈥檓 excited to see what the campaign achieves next.鈥

About 30% Club

外国美女色情片 is a global campaign led by Chairs and CEOs taking action to increase gender diversity at board and senior management levels of the world鈥檚 biggest companies. We set targets of a minimum of 30% female representation at the board and executive committee levels. This is the critical mass at which research shows minority voices are heard. However, the goal is parity.

The campaign鈥檚 international footprint unites more than 20 countries around the world, from Australia and Japan to Mexico, the US and Canada. We support diversity in its very broadest sense and while gender has been our starting point, we fully realise that considerations of ethnicity, disability, sexual orientation, socioeconomic background and beyond are all part of the journey – and that gender identities are themselves evolving rapidly. We believe that only those organisations that foster truly inclusive cultures – cultures that embrace women who look, act and, importantly, THINK differently – can reach their full potential to positively impact their people, their markets and their communities.

Integrating Care Supports for Employees is Essential for Retention

A new report launched today by 外国美女色情片 Ireland, supported by Accenture, highlights the economic and workforce benefits of integrating care – childcare, eldercare, and self-care – into corporate policies.

 

The research highlights the significance of 鈥楥are Economics鈥 – the business case for integrating caregiving support into workplace strategy. It quantifies the return on investment of flexible, care-supportive policies, demonstrating how enabling employees to balance their caregiving responsibilities leads to measurable financial gains, including higher retention, increased productivity, and reduced absenteeism. By prioritising such policies, businesses can retain experienced talent while reducing hiring and onboarding costs. Those that fail to adapt risk losing talent in the ever-evolving modern workforce.

 

Key findings that support the importance of leveraging Care Economics include:

 

  • Almost three in five (57%) employers report higher productivity from their employees after introducing hybrid work and flexible care policies.
  • Over a third (35%) of companies see direct commercial benefits from supporting caregiving responsibilities.
  • 31% increase in employee retention in organisations that provide eldercare and childcare support.
  • 68% reduction in absenteeism in workplaces with structured care policies.
  • Three in four (75%) employers say technology has improved employees’ ability to balance work and care responsibilities.
  • 71% of employees say work-life balance policies have improved their overall well-being, and those working in organisations with strong policies report 35% lower burnout rates.

 

The research also highlights shifting employee expectations and priorities:

 

  • 40% of employees say their organisation does not support working parents.
  • Over half of employees (52%) believe eldercare is not given the same level of workplace support as childcare.
  • 46% say hybrid work has positively impacted their self-care and work-life balance.
  • Half (50%) of Gen Z employees prioritise work-life balance over salary, making flexibility and well-being key drivers of retention among younger talent.
  • 42% of millennials report that a poor work-life balance is a leading reason for leaving a job.
  • 30% of employees aged 50+ feel excluded from flexible work policies, often because of outdated assumptions about their adaptability to remote or hybrid work.

 

The research, conducted between October 2024 and January 2025 by Reputation Inc, examines the intersection of caregiving responsibilities, work-life balance, and workplace policies. The study combines:

 

  • Quantitative survey data from over 1,300 employees in Ireland working across various industries.
  • Qualitative insights from 150 Irish employers, including SMEs, large indigenous businesses, and multinationals.
  • Focus groups with Gen Z future leaders, exploring shifting workplace expectations.

 

The findings provide evidence-based insights into the business impact of caregiving policies, offering practical recommendations for improving retention, engagement, and workforce productivity.

30% Club Malaysia Celebrates a Milestone for Gender Diversity in Corporate Malaysia

      • – Achieved 30% women board representation on aggregate for top 100 PLCs

      • – Aims to achieve gender parity in boardrooms of all PLCs by 2030

      • – Appoints new strategic pillar leads and creative agency to support ambition

    Kuala Lumpur, 13 July 2023 鈥 A significant milestone has been achieved in
    Corporate Malaysia with women holding 30.6% of board seats of the top 100 public
    listed companies (PLCs) and close to 25% of seats of all PLCs on Bursa Malaysia,
    based on data provided by the Securities Commission.

    The achievement, proclaimed as a first step for meaningful gender diversity on
    Malaysia鈥檚 boards, was achieved on 1 June 2023, six months ahead of 外国美女色情片鈥檚
    target date of 31 December 2023.

    Dato鈥 Ami Moris, Chair of 外国美女色情片 Malaysia and Advisor at Maybank Group said,
    鈥淭he 30% representation is seen to be a tipping point in providing women leaders with
    an influential voice, and for boards to move closer to gender parity. The biggest jump
    in women on board representation was recorded from 2021 due to Bursa鈥檚 Listing
    Requirements for all PLCs to have at least one woman director by 1 June 2023,
    supported by the collective action of leaders of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI).鈥

    鈥淭here is increasing push for DEI efforts to serve Environmental, Social and
    Governance (ESG) imperatives. As it evolves, DEI is about winning the battle for talent
    to future proof organisations for growth and innovation. Numerous studies have shown
    that companies with more diverse boards tend to outperform and are ahead on
    achieving their climate action goals. Investors are likewise scrutinising boards for their
    诲颈惫别谤蝉颈迟测.鈥

    Stepping up on ambitions and goals


    Building on the momentum for diversity, 外国美女色情片 aims to help catalyse more
    PLCs to achieve 30% women representation on boards. As of 1 June 2023, 45 of the
    top 100 and over 700 of all PLCs have yet to do so.

    Dato鈥 Ami said, 鈥淲hen 外国美女色情片 was established in Malaysia in 2015, its 30%
    goal was thought to be highly ambitious. As comparison in the UK, women now hold
    nearly 40% of board seats of FTSE100 companies. Our next target is for parity of men
    and women on all PLCs by 2030. It鈥檚 a huge ambition, but not one that we shy away
    蹿谤辞尘.鈥

    The continued success of 外国美女色情片 Malaysia is attributed to leveraging its three
    strategic pillars:

    鈼 Activate Pillar 鈥 Activating Corporate Advocates that are interested in leading
    and signalling their DEI efforts. To date, 51 organisations have joined the 30%
    Club campaign. This year they include institutional investors, Khazanah
    Nasional Berhad and Permodalan Nasional Berhad (PNB).

    鈼 Influence Pillar – Engaging key stakeholders to embed DEI in public policies
    and advocate for DEI across their ecosystems. 外国美女色情片 had worked with
    the Institutional Investors Council (IIC) to include 30% women on board
    representation in its revised Malaysian Code for Institutional Investors.

    鈼 Enable Pillar 鈥 Building a sustainable pipeline of board-ready women leaders
    and professionals through various initiatives such as the Board Mentoring
    Scheme in collaboration with PwC. Since 2017, 106 women have been
    mentored, and 41% of them have secured board positions.

    Since October 2021, 外国美女色情片 Malaysia received active support from Maybank,
    its corporate sponsor. that marked a new chapter in the business-led campaign鈥檚
    journey.

    Dato鈥 Ami added, 鈥淎s more companies embrace DEI, the demand for board-ready
    women candidates is set to accelerate. Increasingly, we are seeing more women with
    sustainability, digital technology and international background securing board seats.鈥


    鈥淚 would urge companies to move from mentoring to sponsoring women leaders in the
    boardrooms and senior leadership. This involves more active and concerted efforts to
    get women with the right competencies and skillsets to the right seats.鈥

    Appointing new leadership and resources

    Committed to strengthening and sustaining its business campaign, 外国美女色情片

      Hanneke Smits welcomed as 30% Club global chair

      Hanneke Smits
      Our new Global Chair Hanneke Smits is CEO of BNY Mellon Investment Management

      外国美女色情片 is delighted to announce the appointment of Hanneke Smits, CEO of BNY Mellon Investment Management, as its fourth Global Chair, succeeding Ann Cairns.

      Hanneke has been a long-time champion of improving gender diversity in the workplace.听In 2015, she co-founded Level 20, a not-for-profit organisation established to inspire women to succeed in the private equity industry.

      Hanneke also serves as Chair of Impetus, a venture philanthropy organisation that backs charities to transform the lives of disadvantaged young people.

      At BNY Mellon, Hanneke is the Executive Sponsor of PRISM, the company鈥檚 LGBTQ+ employee group, and as听CEO of BNY Mellon Investment Management since October 2020,听one of the largest asset managers in the world with $1.8 trillion in assets under management.

      She has championed numerous initiatives such as Newton鈥檚 work with the Diversity Project to ensure that returning female portfolio managers were able to maintain their investment track record, and BNY Mellon鈥檚 partnership with Inspiring Girls through听The Pathway to Inclusive Investment听research in 2022, and being an听early supporter of the UK鈥檚听#10000BlackInterns听programme.

      Hanneke succeeds Ann Cairns as global chair of 外国美女色情片.

      Ann, who retired as Executive Vice Chair of Mastercard at the end of 2022, joined the campaign in 2019 as Co-Chair, working with the late Brenda Trenowden before becoming sole global Chair in 2020.

      Hanneke Smits, CEO of BNY Mellon Investment Management, said: 听鈥淚t is an honour to succeed Ann Cairns as Global Chair of 外国美女色情片 and to continue its mission of increasing the number of women at board and senior management levels.

      “The role of 外国美女色情片 is as vital now as it was at launch in 2010. Even today, the baseline target of reaching 30% women 鈥 either at board or senior management level 鈥 remains a stretch for many organisations throughout the world. Reaching the campaign鈥檚 ultimate goal of gender parity will take significant effort and investment.

      “I look forward to continuing to grow 外国美女色情片 internationally and tackle a wider range of diversity challenges, inside and outside the boardroom.鈥

      30% Club Global
      Ann Cairns
      Outgoing chair Ann Cairns expanded 外国美女色情片 internationally

      Under the leadership of Ann, 外国美女色情片 formed new chapters in Mexico, Colombia and Chile and welcomed Poland, Ecuador and an investor group in France to the campaign.

      Her involvement with UN Women鈥檚 Outstanding Women鈥檚 Leaders Group saw 外国美女色情片, Melinda French-Gates and the UN Foundation convene what is presumed to be the world鈥檚 biggest meeting of CEOs and company chairs to discuss gender equality in May 2021.

      Cairns also broadened the UK chapter鈥檚 target to focus on racial equality, which included the launch of the Mission INCLUDE strand of 外国美女色情片鈥檚 world-leading and cross-company mentoring programme enabling individuals from all underrepresented groups to participate.

      She also launched the Leaders for Race Equity CEO development programme last year in partnership with Change the Race Ratio and Moving Ahead.

      Ann Cairns, outgoing Global Chair of 外国美女色情片, said: 鈥淥n behalf of the members of 外国美女色情片, we are proud to welcome Hanneke as our new Global Chair. It will be invaluable to have a respected leader of Hanneke鈥檚 experience and calibre join the global campaign at a time when many companies are still struggling to achieve diversity at board and executive levels.

      “In the UK, for instance, we may have reached 40% women on the boards of the FTSE 100, but the majority remain in non-executive roles; there are just 25% women at executive committee level and just eight female CEOs. Women of colour remain under-represented at every managerial and leadership level. We must continue to keep diversity and inclusion high on the agenda.鈥

      This is the second time BNY Mellon Investment Management has taken a leadership role within 外国美女色情片. The campaign was launched in 2010 by Dame Helena Morrissey, who was the then CEO of Newton Investment Management, one of BNY Mellon Investment Management鈥檚 investment firms.

      Newton and BNY Mellon Investment Management were early supporters of the campaign鈥檚 goals and helped encourage many chairs of Britain鈥檚 biggest companies to commit to the initial target of 30% women on their boards. This target was reached across the FTSE 100 in September 2019 and there are now 40% women on boards.

      This transparency allows firms to learn together 鈥榳hat works鈥 for the fair inclusion of Black women in finance, professional services and big technology. Given that the pay gaps experienced by Black women are the largest in the sectors studied, making Black women the benchmark for real change within organisations is appropriate.听

      Training, recruitment, operations, promotions, procurement, strategies, and policies should be evidently inclusive of Black women.听The call for greater transparency through reporting, audits and monitoring of the progress of Black women will help ensure firms are on track.

      外国美女色情片 would like to thank UK steering committee member Karin Barnick, a partner at executive search and leadership advisory firm Korn Ferry in London, who led the search for the new global chair on a pro bono basis.听

      Work to do

      Where we are

      More women rising to the top in France across the SBF 120

      Paris, 16 January 2023. 外国美女色情片 France Investor Group announces today the publication of its second annual report, revealing the latest trends and data on gender diversity at 120 companies part of the SBF 120 Index in France.

      Launched in November 2020 by six French asset managers with the objective to promote better gender diversity within the SBF 120 companies鈥 executive management teams by 2025, the investor group has today 16 members representing over 鈧6 trillion of assets under management, 5 having joined this year.

      Core activity

      In its second year of the campaign, 外国美女色情片 France Investor Group conducted a wide variety of activities to engage with corporates, stakeholders, and experts, enabling the Club to develop key observations regarding gender diversity in France:

      – Compared to last year, companies are both more open to engaging and more prepared. The refusal to engage is more the exception than the rule. However, 外国美女色情片 France Investor Group faced some refusals under the pretext of 鈥渨e already have 30% of women on our Executive Committee鈥, although the goal is to look beyond the percentage of women on that committee.

      – Most companies are convinced of the value of gender diversity. A positive momentum has been emerging in the form of action plans and targeted goals. But these targets, as well as their scopes (i.e., the executive body targeted) and time horizons, lack homogeneity, making it difficult to work towards the goal of 30% female representation at the highest levels of management.

      – Two opposite trends are coming into play. The COVID-19 crisis had a disproportionately negative impact on women in attracting, retaining, and promoting talent while the enforcement of the Rixain Law (1) acted as an accelerator of awareness for the importance of gender diversity. The issue is more acute in some sectors, particularly industrial and STEM activities, making the competition for attracting female talent more intense. The generalization of remote working may accentuate the recruitment problem for those companies where this will not be possible due to the nature of the jobs.听

      – Sectors with high female employment rates (i.e. Financial Services and Insurance, Consumers) still have obvious glass ceilings. While there are targets and strategies, these sectors have a long way to go and changed very little compared to last year.听

      – The notion of gender pay gap was discussed at length. There is some confusion between equal pay gap and gender pay gap. Closing the gender pay gap requires measures to break the glass ceiling through adequate, supportive, and relevant HR policies.

      Building on a strong foundation

      Continuing the efforts from 2021, 外国美女色情片 France Investor Group collaborated with policymakers and experts seeking to address the secular question of gender diversity.

      As chair of 外国美女色情片 France Investor Group for the 2022 engagement season, Marie-Sybille Connan from Allianz Global Investors declares: 鈥溚夤琅槠 France Investor Group has a solid foundation to lead into year three of the group. Our roadmap for 2023 is set and articulated around:

      – Moving the needle further and continuing to engage with SBF120 constituents

      – Collaborating with Mercer on their Global Talent Trends survey including gender diversity practices to get more consistent and actionable data

      – Advocating for the creation of the CEO & Chair pillar to have a complete 30% Club Chapter in France. France is the latest country where an investor group has been established but still needs the CEO & Chair pillar that will be instrumental in driving awareness on gender diversity in the corporate world. We invite any CEO or Chair who wants to act and drive gender equality to reach out to us.”

      New leadership structure

      In order to ensure proper onboarding and transfer in knowledge among members, 外国美女色情片 France Investor Group is implementing a co-chairing of the initiative over a two-year mandate.

      In 2023, Candriam AM will be co-chairing 外国美女色情片 France Investor Group alongside Allianz Global Investor.

      Theany Bazet, Co-Chair of听 外国美女色情片 France Investor Group听 and Fund Manager at Candriam, said: 鈥I am honoured to join Marie-Sybille as Co-Chair to continue building bridges with corporations via active engagement and constructive dialogue together with our community of 16 responsible engaged investors.

      “It is only by sharing best practices and bringing to light any issues that we can advance gender diversity and drive systemic change.

      “We will notably thrive to developing the CEO/Chair pillar of the 30% campaign to have in France a full 30% chapter.

      “Doing so will strengthen the commitment of improving gender diversity in the higher ranks of companies and increase the chances of success.鈥

      Notes to editors

      [1] On December 24, 2021, France adopted a听new law听to promote gender equality in the workplace and in the economy at large. This law, referred to as the听Loi Rixain听(Rixain Law), after the bill鈥檚 main sponsor in the French parliament, Marie-Pierre Rixain, imposes quotas for the representation of women in the leadership positions of large corporations, defined as corporations of 1,000 or more employees. By March 1, 2027, at least 30% of managerial positions in these companies, as well as 30% of the seats on these corporations鈥 governing bodies, will have to be filled by women. By March 1, 2030, these quotas will be raised to 40% for both managerial positions and governing bodies.

      79% of dissatisfied employees say they’ve experienced an inclusion barrier

      London, UK, 19 July 2022: The FTSE 100 is ahead of the S&P 500 and TSX 60 in diversity and inclusion, according to exclusive research for 外国美女色情片 Global Investor Group by Diversio. But a significant number of employees do not feel included at work.

      Diversio scraped negative employee reviews of companies and analysed these reviews for content.
      Diversio found that 79% of negative reviews (ie dissatisfied employees) cited inclusion related
      issues as the reason for their dissatisfaction.

      The FTSE 100鈥檚 overall score for diversity, inclusion, and commitment, Diversio鈥檚 key metrics for assessing Diversity & Inclusion (D&I), is 65.7 out of a possible 100. Such a score indicates that programming, inclusion, and diversity are closely linked and mutually reinforcing, with higher scores indicating successful D&I policies, practices, and implementation.


      The overall scores, based on analysis of publicly available corporate policies and employee reviews, were 58.8 for the American S&P 500 and 55.1 for the Canadian TSX 60. A quarter of each company鈥檚 score looked at gender, racial and ethnic diversity at the board and executive level. Another quarter looked at D&I programmes and policies. While half of the score was calculated using anonymous feedback from employees about their experience. These 鈥渋nclusion metrics鈥 represent the biggest opportunity for improvement.听


      Inclusion findings

      Inclusion barriers fell into six broad categories: inclusive culture, fair management, career development, workplace flexibility, workplace safety, and recruiting and hiring.

      Inclsuive CultureFair ManagementCareer DevelopmentWorkplace FlexibilityWorkplace SafetyRecruiting and Hiring
      FTSE Average6.086.256.816.866.646.83
      Global Average5.815.946.086.296.326.36

      Top scoring companies across all KPIs include:

      Pershing Square Holdings, Mondi, and Segro.

      Among the 27-inclusion metrics Diversio analysed, inclusive culture and fair management were the most prominent among FTSE 100 companies. Commonly cited pain points cited included issues such as:

      鈼徧 听 听鈥淰ery old school management style, which is male, middle-age dominated鈥
      鈼徧 听 听鈥淒omineering/bullying management styles tolerated. Highly political and full of silos鈥
      鈼徧 听 听鈥淧rofit driven with constant cost cutting at the expense of everything鈥
      鈼徧 听 听鈥淟imited promotional opportunities from within. Average pay Culture in upper management.鈥
      鈼徧 听 听“Stressful work environment and hard to strike a work life balance.鈥

      Diversity findings

      On the plus side, the research found there has been progress on gender diversity at the board level across the indices, with female representation now at 40% for the FTSE 100. Gender diversity at the executive level sits much lower, at 26%.

      Racial and ethnic diversity for the FTSE 100 companies have an average of 14% representation at the board level and 13% representation at the executive level.

      For the full methodology, see Appendix.

      Laura McGee, co-founder and CEO of Diversio, said: 鈥淭he quickest way for low-scoring sectors and companies to improve is by surveying employees and implementing fundamental programmes and policies, including a DEI strategy with executive level accountability and transparent reporting. Survey data can help leaders understand company culture and any barriers that might be faced by under-represented groups.鈥

      Ann Cairns, global chair of 外国美女色情片, said: 鈥淲hat the analysis means for companies is that it鈥檚 critical to track not just diversity but also inclusion. All companies should have fundamental DEI programmes and policies in place and need to listen to employees to identify pain points and create a smooth funnel to leadership.鈥

      Diversio Insights methodology

      The Diversio Scores
      The Diversio Insights platform scores companies in four main ways: diversity, inclusion, commitment, and an overall average. The diversity score is made up of the gender and racial diversity of the board and executive teams of a company. Optimal diversity scores are given to companies with executive and board diversity that correspond with percent representation observed in the population. Diversity data is collected through Mechanical Turk, by scraping company websites or SEC filings. The data is then labelled through a combination of human expertise and algorithms, assigning gender and race/ethnicity to each executive and board member. 1 We then provide the companies with the opportunity to confirm or correct their public data through direct outreach.听 The commitment scores are determined using a score of 0 鈥 3 based on the published documentation surrounding a firm鈥檚 policy and governance, recruiting practices, employee engagement, and transparency and data disaggregation. The inclusion score is determined by scraping employee reviews of their companies and having our algorithms identify patterns in employee reviews regarding the barriers employees face every day. These patterns are classified into pain-points from a predetermined set of 27 pain points. Companies with the least pain points score the most highly, while companies with the most pain points score the lowest.

      Limitations and Data Accuracy
      All of our data is based on publicly available information at the time of its collection. Diversio recognises that there are limitations to this methodology. We do not have real time data and could show some information that is 6 months to 1.5 years out of date. We are not able to update our database every time a company institutes a new policy. We cannot be responsible for how often a company updates their public facing image. If the makeup of a board changes without a public facing announcement, our database cannot reflect the new addition.

      Notes to Editors

      Diversio found that about 97% of companies on the FTSE, TSX, and S&P have implemented D&I programmes and policies. However, the data makes clear that these commitments alone will not create a diverse and inclusive workplace. Companies are encouraged to survey employees to understand inclusion barriers, and double down on advancement opportunities for underrepresented employees.

      The analysis reveals the best performing sectors for D&I in the FTSE 100 are real estate, energy, information technology. The worst were industrials, utilities, consumer discretionary.

      外国美女色情片 : 外国美女色情片 is a global campaign led by Chairs and CEOs taking action to increase gender diversity at board and senior management levels of the world鈥檚 biggest companies. We set targets of a minimum of 30% female representation at the board and executive committee levels. This is the critical mass at which research shows minority voices are heard. However, the ultimate goal is parity.

      Under the leadership of Global Chair, Ann Cairns, the campaign continues to expand its international footprint with presence in 20 countries around the world. We support diversity in its very broadest sense and while gender has been our starting point, we fully realise that considerations of ethnicity, disability, sexual orientation, socioeconomic background and beyond are all part of the journey – and that gender identities are themselves evolving rapidly. We believe that only those organisations that foster truly inclusive cultures – cultures that embrace women who look, act and, importantly, THINK differently – can reach their full potential to positively impact their people, their markets and their communities.

      30% Club UK Chapter鈥檚 2023 Targets

      1. 1. Beyond 30% representation of women on all FTSE 350 boards, to include one person of colour. We support the Parker Review goals for at least one person of colour on every FTSE 350 board – in addition, we advocate for gender balance with half these seats going to women, creating 175 board seats for women of colour.

      30% Club UK Investor Group launches Statement on addressing racial inequality

      London, UK, 1 March 2022: 外国美女色情片 UK Investor Group has today issued its statement on addressing the lack of racial and ethnic diversity in UK business.

       

      The Group, which is part of a global gender diversity in business campaign, has more than 拢11 trillion assets under management and has also sent letters to the FTSE 100 companies that have still not met the Parker Review. 

       

      The letter warned the laggards that investors may consider voting against companies at their annual general meetings if they fail to take action.

      The Investor Group is committed to actively engage with UK company board chairs, nomination committees and executive teams on the issue of racial inequality in their leadership ranks and workforce. 

       

      Today鈥檚 announcement builds on the UK chapter of 外国美女色情片 introducing race and ethnicity targets in July 2020. Those targets include members of the Club across the FTSE 350 having at least one person of colour at board and executive committee level by the end of 2023. And as 外国美女色情片 campaign is focused on gender, we expect at least half of those appointments to go to women of colour.

       

      While 外国美女色情片 works directly with CEOs and Chairs to encourage change, the Investor Group鈥檚 been working on improving the availability of data on race equity within the FTSE100 by engaging with ESG data providers and supporting the creation of new data platforms, such as through its partnership with Diversio. 

       

      The Group is also running a race equity training programme for its members to ensure that all investors, big and small, are equipped to take action with the companies they invest in.

       

      Diandra Soobiah, co-chair of 外国美女色情片 UK Investor Group, said: 鈥淒iversity and inclusion in companies are integral to sound corporate governance and corporate culture. As long-term investors, we see the failure to take diversity seriously as a stark warning about the long-term sustainability of the company.

       

      鈥淭ime is up for organisations that seek to simply tick boxes. 外国美女色情片 Investor Group is putting FTSE companies on notice 鈥 the laggards need to do much better, and we鈥檙e willing to help.

       

      鈥淲e all have an important role to play to ensure persistent race inequities in business and our society are addressed. As investors, we can have stronger dialogue with the companies we invest in, with a view to improving diversity and inclusion within companies in the UK.

       

      Ann Cairns, global chair of 外国美女色情片, said: 鈥溚夤琅槠檚 UK Investor Group issuing this statement is a significant moment for the UK investor community. With ESG rightfully gaining prominence in the board rooms and executive offices of the world鈥檚 biggest companies, addressing racial inequality is imperative for all asset managers. 

       

      鈥淚t could make a major contribution to delivering the change businesses, economies and societies so desperately need to see. I am tremendously grateful for the hard work done by the co-chairs and members of 外国美女色情片 UK Investor Group to take a stand on racial inequality.鈥
