JBI is proud to be a signatory to the Women in Finance Charter, a commitment by HM Treasury and signatory firms to work together to build a more balanced and fair industry. Firms that sign up to this Charter are pledging to be the best businesses in the sector.

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 2022, were set and measured accordingly:

  • Target 1: To maintain the 44% female representation on the Executive Committee (‘ExCo’) of JBI. Status: target exceeded with 50% female representation on the ExCo.
  • Target 2: The Senior Management Team (‘SMT’) (ExCo plus ExCo -1) to increase the female representation from 41% to 45%. Status: target not reached however progress has been made with 44% female representation on the SMT

As a result of the progress made, the following new targets have been established with an end of 2023 deadline:

  • Target 1: To maintain the 50% female representation on the Executive Committee (‘ExCo’) of JBI.
  • Target 2: To increase the female representation to 45% on the Senior Management Team (‘SMT’) (ExCo plus ExCo -1).
