**24 SEPTEMBER 2020**
GLOBAL CHAIR, ANN CAIRNS, TALKS TO BBC RADIO 4 ABOUT WOMEN ON BOARDS AND AT SENIOR EXECUTIVE LEVEL
LISTEN HERE
OUR FOCUS
We support diversity in its very broadest sense and while gender has been our starting point, we fully realise that considerations of ethnicity, disability, sexual orientation, socioeconomic background and beyond are all part of the journey - and that gender identities are themselves evolving rapidly. We believe that only those organisations that foster truly inclusive cultures - cultures that embrace women who look, act and, importantly, THINK differently - can reach their full potential to positively impact their people, their markets and their communities.
OUR 2023 TARGETS
OUR 2020 TARGET
The 30% Club is always open to dialogue with organisations around their progress against these targets – this appetite for constructive engagement is supported by our Diverse Women working group.
OUR STORY
The 30% Club campaign was set up in 2010 with the aim of achieving a minimum of 30% female representation on FTSE 100 boards by 2015. That target was reached in September 2018, and the percentage currently stands at 36.1%*, up from 12.5% when we launched the campaign in 2010.
As of 2016, we extended the scope of our original target to a minimum of 30% women on FTSE 350 boards by 2020. This extended target was reached in September 2019, and the percentage currently stands at 34.2%*, up from 23% when we set the target.
This progress has been achieved thanks to the leadership of our Chair and CEO members and numerous other stakeholders that have collaborated to drive change. While we celebrate reaching these boardroom milestones, both targets were minimum objectives and there is still much work to do to achieve better gender balance at the top of businesses: 106* companies have still not reached 30% women on their boards and there is still 1 all-male board in the FTSE 350.
Now under Ann Cairns' leadership, as Global Chair of the campaign, our energies remain concentrated on supporting more women into senior roles, both executive and non-executive. Women remain significantly underrepresented as Chairs and CEOs and on Executive Committees of FTSE 350 companies, and more focus is needed to achieve diverse and inclusive cultures.
The 30% Club believes that companies with a good balance of men and women in senior roles have better insights into their customers and market opportunities, make better decision, perform better financially and better serve their communities.
For further detail on the campaign see booklet and video clip below.

Working groups
The Automotive working group is made up of MDs and CEOs from automotive manufacturing, retailing and supplier companies. Our aim is to fill at least 30% of key leadership positions in our organisations with women, from junior management to board level.
We are implementing a four phase strategy:
We also work in partnership with the charity Speakers for Schools.

As part of the 30% Club efforts to encourage and increase the female gender balance at all organisational levels, we establish partnerships with business schools globally to rectify the under-representation of women pursuing post-graduate management education by offering Women’s Scholarships. Through these partnerships we seek to build a continuum of change from schoolroom to boardroom, helping women to make the decision to undertake further education and accelerate their career progression. For further detail please click here.

The Communications group seeks to maximise the profile and reach of the 30% Club through a coordinated and strategic communications programme, also ensuring our global reputation is managed and protected.

To improve inclusion and diverse representation in the workplace.
We invite you to join two of the world’s largest cross-company, cross-sector programmes to advance workplace diversity and inclusion: The 30% Club and Mission INCLUDE cross-company mentoring programmes. These programmes are run by mentoring, development and inclusion experts at Moving Ahead.
Programme one: advancing gender diversity
The 30% Club cross-company mentoring programme
WATCH A FILM ABOUT THE PROGRAMME
The 30% Club cross-company mentoring programme continues to focus on gender diversity in order to build and strengthen necessary pipelines and achieve parity of women in leadership and board roles.
The programme matches women from all levels of the career pyramid to mentors from another organisation. Now entering its eighth year, it has supported a total of 9,324 mentors and mentees across 194 organisations. The 2019/20 cohort brought together 2,634 mentors and mentees from 119 organisations, including HSBC, EY, The Environment Agency, Ocado, Oxford University Press and Cisco.
Programme two: advancing broader D&I
Mission INCLUDE cross-company mentoring programme

Building on the success and impact of the 30% Club’s cross-company mentoring programme, Mission INCLUDE brings forward many of the tried and tested principles of cross-company mentoring to develop truly diverse pipelines and leadership representation.
Mission INCLUDE is for organisations who want to create change and drive inclusion beyond gender.

This group aims to build a vision for celebrating difference and focusing on intersectionality. It looks to amplify the voices of diverse women through the aims of the 30% Club, and to educate businesses about how they can infuse intersectionality into their I&D agenda.
contact
The Higher Education group focuses on diversity in universities and higher education establishments to encourage a pooling of ideas across both the corporate and the higher education sectors to reduce the gender gap across governing bodies and faculties, as well as to analyse and act to improve the experiences of female students.
Please click here for a copy of the Think Future Study report, commissioned to better understand how university shapes career perceptions and trajectories and whether these vary depending on gender or socio-economic background. The report gives a current perspective on how universities can support Generation Z as they head towards the next stage of their lives, how businesses can best appeal to a generation with different expectations and aspirations and how to nurture this emerging talent stream.
For an overview of our activities please click here for a copy of our most recent newsletter.

Established in 2018 as part of our drive to identify actionable recommendations for organisations, our HR Best Practice Group aims to uncover, share and develop best practices that can be implemented across a range of firms and industries to develop gender balance in leadership.

The 30% Club Investor Group was established in 2011. Its purpose is to:
As asset owners and asset managers we are responsible for the stewardship of the investments we make on behalf of our members and clients. Part of that responsibility includes the assessment of the boards and senior management teams of our investee companies.
We believe boards that genuinely embrace cognitive diversity, as manifested through appropriate gender representation and a broad spectrum of skills and experience, are more likely to achieve better outcomes for investors. There is increasing research to support this hypothesis.
Statement of Intent
In October 2016, the 30% Club UK Investor Group published a Statement of Intent to signal the collective voice of the 30% Club Investor Group to companies and the wider marketplace, and to demonstrate the ways in which members will use their ownership rights and undertake stewardship to encourage progress on gender diversity. The Statement of Intent includes supporting the following targets by 2020:
We call on companies to take fast and considered action to secure this ambition.
We support the brief of the Hampton-Alexander Review (following on from the review by Lord Davies on women on boards of UK listed companies) to focus on "improving female representation in leadership positions of British business, broadening the ambition to the entire FTSE 350 and raising the target to 33% of women on boards by 2020.
Further detail on the work of the Group and its members can be found here. Please also see our Investor toolkit for engaging boards on diversity which is provided to help investors, and those representing them, more effectively engage with boards of directors on this important issue.

In January 2015, the 30% Club launched its collaboration with Speakers for Schools, an education charity that helps state secondary schools access the time of today’s eminent and influential figures across a range of industries for free school talks, starting with our own campaign seeing over 20 of our top business leaders take part in the talk series “Equality Across the Board” . Today, the charity enlists the help of our top UK Members to visit state schools to give their time for inspiring talks each year, sharing their insights as well as the message of 30% Club to see young women encouraged in their potential as leaders and future Boardroom members. Since 2017, the charity has also started supporting leading firms in offering short work experience placements for students from more diverse and disadvantaged backgrounds to help them to aspire to the professional world. Our work with Speakers for Schools aims to support young women prior to starting their career, and we warmly encourage our Members to sign up to the initiative and find out more about how the charity can help you and your company reach young people. For more detailed information on opportunities to engage please see here.

The Group’s principal aim is to develop and share best practices and recommendations on gender-related activity across common business areas. It reviews key processes in businesses, outside of HR, to assess what can be updated to limit potential gender bias and drive better outcomes, helping businesses incorporate a gender lens into enterprise-wide strategy development.
In November 2019, the group launched a report at the Market Open of the London Stock Exchange reviewing how organisations can address the potential ‘missing millions’ of gender related insights and opportunities company-wide, to drive better outcomes for women and men alike: "Are You Missing Millions? The Commercial Imperative for Putting a Gender Lens on Your Business".

funding).

In October 2017 The Treasury Committee launched a new inquiry into Women in Finance focusing on HM Treasury’s Women in Finance Charter and the progress it has made. The Committee will seek to identify the barriers to women entering and progressing in the financial services industry and will examine the value to financial firms of having greater gender imbalance. It will also scrutinize the impact of Government and financial regulators as role models for good gender diversity practices.
This high-profile forum builds on the success of the previous editions of the Women in Business and the Women in Finance summits, which both attracted 250+ senior delegates from across business, government and the regulatory community, both here and overseas.
The conference will examine the role of the Government and financial regulators in addressing the imbalance of seniority between genders and determine what can be done to identify the barriers to women entering and progressing in the financial services sector.
It will also review the progress made since the launch of the HM Treasury’s Charter and assess the impact the Charter has had on signatory companies, the benefits they are realising and the challenges the firms face in meeting their Charter commitments.

GENDER BALANCE INDEX
The annual Gender Balance Index tracks the presence of men and women in senior positions of public financial institutions globally, weighted by seniority.
The 2017 report focused on central banks, showing that the sector is highly unbalanced when it comes to gender, with the disequilibrium becoming worse. The value of the overall index, which aggregates the performance of individual institutions weighted by their country's share of the global economy, stood at 30.6% in 2017 – a far cry from the 100% that would suggest a perfectly gender-balanced picture.
The 2018 edition of the Gender Balance Index expands the analysis to sovereign funds and public pension funds. We invite you to attend the launch of the 2018 findings which will be presented in both London and Singapore. Speakers include: Catherine Bradley, board member at the UK Financial Conduct Authority; Marc-Olivier Strauss-Kahn, director general of economics and international relations, Banque de France; Jorgovanka Tabaković, governor, National Bank of Serbia; and Anna Trzecińska, deputy president of Narodowy Bank Polski.

The Financial Times & 30% Club invite you to join us for the next Women at the Top Summit - Transforming Leadership
The 30% Club is delighted to announce that we will be partnering with the FT Women at the Top summit which returns in September to tackle one of the most complex challenges we face today: how to fix the gender imbalance in the top ranks of business in Britain and beyond.
The composition of top UK management remains stubbornly uniform despite significant progress to make organisations more diverse and inclusive. The costs to companies and the economy of male dominated leadership are well documented. Yet many employers are still inadvertently turning away future leaders – male and female – by continuing business as usual.
Join us to look at how leadership could be transformed over the next decade as the impact of policy changes becomes clear. Hear practical examples and insights from the most forward thinking business leaders, academics and policy makers tackling the gender imbalance and take part in action-focused debate to discover how you can effect change.
We have negotiated a 15% discount only available to 30% Club members, a saving of £150 on a single ticket to this leading summit which can be activated by using the code 30CLUB when registering. Further discounts are available for two or more bookings.

The 30% Club is partnering with HM Treasury and the Women in Finance Charter for this awards event.
Of all the industries in which women are poorly represented at a senior level, finance and financial services have the biggest challenge to address.Despite making up more than half the finance workforce, women continue to dramatically lag behind their male counterparts in leadership roles.“Women account for 23 per cent of board members and just 14 per cent of executive committee members across UK-regulated financial services companies. But this is nowhere near ideal.”The Women in Finance Awards is the finance industry’s largest diversity initiative, recognising the high-achievers, advocates, and role models for women in the sector. Organised by GrowthBusiness.co.uk and What Investment magazine, we aspire to see gender balance at all levels in the world of finance. This isn’t just a matter of corporate responsibility; it’s a matter of national urgency.The event will bring together key stakeholders to raise awareness of the sector’s diversity problem, further the gender balance agenda, as well as to celebrate inclusion, leadership and finance excellence.The lack of women in this sector is already taking toll on financial institutions, and the time to address this is now. Join us on 29th June 2017 for an evening of celebration and dialogue at the inaugural edition of the Women in Finance Awards.
Nominations for the 2017 Women in Finance Awards will close on 28 February 2017.
The Women in Finance Awards is open to advocates, supporters, and achievers in the world of finance, actively bridging the diversity gap in the sector. But for this initiative to be a resounding a success, we need to know who you believe the women and advocates that deserve recognition are.
So we urge you to nominate someone – a colleague, partner, client, friend, whomever in finance – you feel should be celebrated on this very special evening.
The judges will convene two weeks before the awards ceremony to review all of the shortlisted nominations. They will decide the winners based on written submissions, supporting materials and video assets, so please include as much information as possible within the word limit. Whether you’re nominating yourself, or someone you believe should win, please fill out the nomination form using the criteria (accessible via the link below) of the category most relevant to your entry. Remember, the judges will refer to each criteria to guide their decisions, so shape your entry accordingly. Each written submission should be at least 600 words and a maximum of 1,000 words. There is no cost to nominate, and you can enter as many categories as you wish.

In 2015, the Davies Review put forward its closing recommendations and suggested that cross-sector appointments could help to improve the gender and professional diversity of boards. The latest data from Cranfield University’s Female FTSE Report 2016 shows that while the percentage of women on FTSE 100 boards has increased to 26% and to 20.4% on the FTSE 250 boards this year, the percentage of new appointments going to women over the past six months is only 24.7%. This is the lowest since September 2011.
Better gender diversity at board level is a priority for UK businesses and universities. While both sectors have made big improvements, there is much more to be done. So far there has been little research into the exchange of board-level talent between businesses and academia. In response, KPMG and the 30% Club commissioned Professor Simonetta Manfredi, Director of the Centre for Diversity Policy Research and Practice at Oxford Brookes University, to conduct a study into this issue.
Professor Simonetta Manfredi will be presenting the compelling findings of this report at this event kindly hosted by KPMG. This will be followed by a panel discussion, where Simonetta will be joined by business leaders including Anne Richards, Chief Executive Officer at M&G Group PLC.

She is a Master Practitioner in NLP (neuro-linguistic programming).
Rather than feeling that leaders have to have all the answers, and directing things from the outside through command and control, using their own ego strength and energy (ego-intelligent leaders), eco-intelligent leaders see themselves as catalysts within an inter-dependent eco-system. Sharon’s talk will explore how leaders can bring eco-intelligence to bear on their day-to-day work and create self-sustaining eco-systems where staff can find higher levels of self- expression and purpose.
