Thank you for reading Women in Finance Charter

The Women in Finance Charter is a pledge for gender balance across financial services. The Charter, in short, asks financial services firms to commit to implementing four key industry standards:

Having one member of the senior executive team who is responsible and accountable for gender diversity and inclusion.
Setting internal targets for gender diversity in senior management.
Publishing progress annually against these targets.
Having an intention to ensure the pay of the senior executive team is linked to delivery against these internal targets on gender diversity.

Women in Finance Charter

Foster Denovo is a proud signatory of the HM Treasury Women in Finance Charter. We have been a member of the charter since 2023 and continue to champion a safe and inclusive workplace for all.

The Women in Finance Charter is a commitment by HM Treasury and signatory firms to work together to build a more balanced and fair financial services industry. The Charter commits firms to supporting the progression of women into senior roles in the financial services sector by focusing on the executive pipeline and the mid-tier level. It recognises the diversity of the sector and that firms will have different starting points – each firm should therefore set its own targets and implement the right strategy for its organisation. The Charter requires firms to publicly report on progress to deliver against these internal targets to support the transparency and accountability needed to drive change.

What are we doing to support gender diversity at Foster Denovo?
