Women In Finance Charter
A pledge for gender balance across financial services
This is a commitment by HM Treasury and signatory firms to work together to build a more balanced and fair industry. Firms that sign up to this Charter are pledging to be the best businesses in the sector.
The Charter reflects the government’s aspiration to see gender balance at all levels across financial services firms. A balanced workforce is good for business – it is good for customers, for profitability and workplace culture, and is increasingly attractive for investors. Just 14% of executive positions are held by women.
Female Founder Finance work every day with a such a diverse range of businesses. We have strived to create a diverse and inclusive team to support the needs of these businesses. As we expand, this journey continues.
The success of our business is our people, with their diversity of thought across our whole team. As we grow, we will continue to put our people at the heart of everything we undertake. Taking actions to improve our gender and diversity balance for now and our future.
Currently our entire team is female.
About The Charter
In 2015, the Government asked Dame Jayne-Anne Gadhia, former CEO of Virgin Money, to lead a review into the representation of women in senior managerial roles in financial services, focusing on the talent pipeline at the executive population below board level.
“Empowering Productivity: Harnessing the talents of women in financial services” was published in March 2016. The review found that in 2015, women made up only 14% of Executive Committees in the Financial Services sector. In response to the recommendations in that review, HM Treasury launched the Women in Finance Charter.
There are now over 400 firms, covering 1.3 million employees, voluntarily signed up to the commitments of the Charter – from global banks to credit unions, the largest insurance companies to the smallest fintech start-ups – with headquarters in the UK, USA, Europe and Asia.
Our Founder Roxanne Goodman is responsible for gender diversity and inclusion within the business.
We have committed to publishing our gender diversity data annually.
