© City Hive Women's Network Ltd
Registered Company No. 10195767
By advocating, upholding and, at every opportunity, going beyond governmental guideline, we pledge to ensure more women return to and remain in work.
City Hive Women’s Network have signed HM Treasury's Women in Finance Charter, a pledge for gender balance across financial services.
This is a commitment by HM Treasury and signatory firms like ourselves to work together to build a more balanced and fair industry. Firms who sign up to this Charter are pledging to be the best businesses in the sector in setting standards for gender balance.
The Charter reflects the government’s aspiration to see gender balance at all levels across financial services firms. A balanced workforce is good for business, good for customers, good for profitability and workplace culture, and increasingly attractive for investors.
As the only women’s network in asset and investment management, City Hive's vision and mission mean all of our work focuses on improving diversity in the Industry, and our Founder is fully accountable for this. We believe by standing shoulder to shoulder with the other corporations signed up to this Charter we will we affect true change.
City Hive's senior management is 100% female, but we are a small organisation. We strive to have a diverse Advisory Board that reflects the industry and its client base.
Our Pledge
In addition, City Hive's pledges in relation to the Women in Finance Charter are:
- To support, unite and champion women, recognising and developing their valuable traits to create a more balanced diverse culture in the City.
- To collaborate with financial corporations on improving best practice and cultivating a more inclusive working environment.
- To challenge unconscious biases embedded historically in the mind-set of financial corporations.
- To cultivate the entire female pipeline from schoolroom to boardroom within the Asset and Investment Management Industry.
- To keep 50% of our Senior Management and Advisory Team female, a fact which we will report upon annually on our website.
- To work in partnership with the Diversity Project and Investment 2020.
- To promote HM Treasury’s ‘Women in Finance Charter’.
- To promote the United Nations ‘Principles of Responsible Investment (UN PRI)’ and ‘Women's Empowerment Principles (UN WEP)’.
- To persist and to use gender as a gateway for progress on wider diversity issues.
