This report aims to map what the most active organisations in European capital markets tell us about the diversity of their staff. It aims to look not only at what is disclosed about diversity in terms of numbers, targets and track record, but also to gain insight into initiatives, networks and how diversity is incorporated into recruitment practices.
We will answer the following questions:
- What do companies operating in European capital markets tell us about their approach to diversity?
- Why is diversity disclosure important?
- What are different companies prioritising when it comes to improving the diversity of their workforce?
- Where a company has a focus on gender diversity, how does this impact their approach to non-gender diversity characteristics?
New Financial is planning to design a standardised model for diversity disclosure. This report is a starting point for a discussion about the most useful information to disclose that is comparable between peers, between sectors and over time.
