Our business needs to reflect the communities we serve, so that we can cater to them to the best of our ability. We want to give everyone who works here, and every customer who comes into contact with us, the chance to succeed and the support to thrive. And until that’s everyone’s lived experience, we’ll work to make it a reality. We are committed to becoming ethnically diverse with a focus on the recruitment, retention and advancement of colleagues from ethnic minority backgrounds. We aim to meet our ambitions to have 14% of colleagues from ethnic minority backgrounds in our CEO-4 and above positions and 3% Black colleagues in our CEO-5 and above positions in the UK by 2025.

Our Diversity, Equity and Inclusion strategy (PDF 143KB) is focused on ensuring that our people policies and processes are inclusive and accessible – from how we attract and recruit, to how we reward and engage colleagues. We’re confident in our approach and through time it will help us achieve a better balance of diversity and continue our work to be an inclusive bank.
