Opening Up And Speaking Out: Diversity In Financial Services And The Challenge To Be Met, Speech By Christopher Woolard, Executive Director Of Strategy And Competition At The FCA, Delivered At Ropemaker Place, London
Date 19/12/2018
Highlights:
- The debate has moved well beyond diversity as a ‘nice to have’ – it is now increasingly recognised as a commercial imperative for firms.
- But while things are moving in the right direction, progress has been slow – our stats show the percentage of women at the senior management level below the Board has increased only 1.5% over the last 10 years.
- How a firm approaches diversity and inclusion tells us a lot about its culture. And the way firms handle non-financial misconduct, including allegations of sexual misconduct, is potentially relevant to our assessment of that firm, in the same way that their handling of insider dealing, market manipulation or any other misconduct is.
- In fact, over the last 12 months, we have seen a noticeable upturn in reports which concern issues like discrimination and sexual harassment in financial services. Our message to firms is clear: non-financial misconduct is misconduct, plain and simple.
