Inclusion and diversity
Our workplace culture is critical to our success as a leading global active asset manager. Inclusion and diversity (I&D) are key pillars of how we work. We foster inclusive behaviour to embrace diversity and empower people with talents to succeed as themselves. This is not only the right thing to do – it’s also how we add value for our clients, enhance our brand, grow and retain our business.

For us, diversity without inclusion and inclusion without diversity are not enough. Both are required and supported by a culture of altruism, trust and respect in order to maximise the collective intelligence of our organisation and to unlock the potential of all talent.
Creating an inclusive and diverse workplace
We are all defined by more than one characteristic, making us endlessly diverse. Applying an intersectional approach to addressing our diversity challenges is key to making sustainable progress.

Inclusion and diversity strategy
With our business strategy as our pole star, our I&D strategy focuses on three key pillars. For each of these pillars, we aim at nurturing a healthy workforce and looking at diversity from the perspectives of gender identity, disability, race and ethnicity, sexual orientation, age and social background. And because we are all defined by more than just one of those traits, we address our I&D challenges with an intersectional lens.
We are stronger together
Our commitment to inclusion and diversity includes all dimensions of diversity – ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender identity, age, disability, thoughts, skills and backgrounds. Our different employees’ networks bring our colleagues together.

The initiatives we support
To be able to support initiatives that matter to us, we have created a multitude of local and global partnerships covering the broad range of I&D topics. Furthermore, we have underlined our commitment by signing the UK Government’s Women in Finance Charter and LGBTI UN Standards of Conduct for business.
Our “Women in Finance Charter” commitment
As a signatory to the Women in Finance Charter, we are committed to supporting the progression of women into senior roles in the financial services sector and to reporting publicly on the progress made against internal ambitions on gender equality.
Our ambition is to have at least 30% women in global senior management positions by end of 2024.
New ambitions will be set from 2025 onwards, reflecting our continued commitment to working for more balanced gender representation.
