Supporting recovery, shaping an agenda for the future: Annual report and accounts 2020-21

Over the past year, we have brought together all parts of our industry to tackle some of the extraordinary challenges borne out of the pandemic. We have also been focused on delivering against our strategy, engaging with government and regulators to offer and deliver solutions, and collaborating with our partners to achieve strong outcomes for our members.

This is inclusive of the time period August 2020 - July 2021.   *Annual target: 95%.   **Source: TheCityUK Member Pulse Survey 2020, conducted by Kantar.

As part of our continued commitment to the Women in Finance Charter, we also report progress in this report. Although we fell just shy of our target of a 40:60 female:male ratio across our senior management team, at 36:64, we are very pleased that our 2021 Charter report (submitted 30 September 2021) has seen us exceed this target to achieve a 46:54 ratio. It also includes progress made against our commitments as a signatory to the Race at Work Charter.
