Why Black Inclusion Matters To Us - Speech By Sheldon Mills, Executive Director, Consumers And Competition, Delivered At New Financial

Date 22/04/2021

Highlights

• There is a lack of black people across senior roles in financial services, and there is a strong business case for improving diversity and inclusion at senior levels, with black inclusion being an important part of that. 
• The racism that many black people face in the workplace is not overt, but subtle and insidious, and it adds obstacles for black people to succeed.
• Black inclusion is important to us as a regulator. We want firms to consider how they can accelerate black inclusion at all levels as part of their diversity and inclusion agendas. Data plays an important role in driving transparency and action.
• We have recognised our own challenges as an employer and are taking action as an employer to improve black, Asian and minority ethnic representation and inclusion.
