JBI is proud to be a signatory the Women in Finance Charter, which was developed following a report by HM Treasury and Jayne-Anne Gadhia CBE to improve gender equality in the financial services industry.

JBI signed the Charter in March 2021 and together with many other financial services organisations in the UK, have pledged to:

The Charter

  1. 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;
  2. 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 their organisation;
  3. requires firms to publicly report on progress to deliver against these internal targets to support the transparency and accountability needed to drive change. 

My organisation pledges to promote gender diversity by:

  1. having one member of our senior executive team who is responsible and accountable for gender diversity and inclusion;
  2. setting internal targets for gender diversity in our senior management;
  3. publishing progress annually against these targets in reports on our website;
  4. having an intention to ensure the pay of the senior executive team is linked to delivery against these internal targets on gender diversity. 

JBI’s commitment

As part of JBI‘s commitment to the Charter the following targets, deadline end of 2024, were set and measured accordingly:

  • Target 1: To maintain the 50% female representation on the Executive Committee (‘ExCo’) of JBI. Status: target not met with 44% female representation on the ExCo.
  • Target 2: To increase the female representation to 45% on the Senior Management Team (‘SMT’). Status: target not met with 44.12% female representation on the SMT*.

As a result of the progress made, the following targets have been established with an end of 2025 deadline:

  • Target 1: To maintain the 50% female representation on the Executive Committee (‘ExCo’) of JBI.
  • Target 2: To increase the female representation to 50% on the Senior Management Team (‘SMT’).
  • Target 3: To increase the female representation to 50% on the JBI Board (‘BoD’).

Throughout 2024, a new Governance structure was implemented which has provided a more accurate definition of the Senior Management population.
