Finance's Commitment to Race Equity

The Finance divisionÌýis committed to the following Race Equity pledges:

  1. Shortlists must have BAME candidate(s), particularly where participation is especially low and at more senior roles.*
  2. Every BAME applicant that satisfies the essential criteria in a role specification is guaranteed to move to the next stage of the selection process. *
  3. Every Grade 10 member of FinanceÌýwill mentor a BAME member of FinanceÌýstaff.
  4. FinanceÌýcommits to supporting the Inclusive Advocacy programme and to ensuring it becomes a standard feature of leadership roles in the division.
  5. All organisational development programmes to have an agreed proportion (TBA but at least equivalent to the proportion of BAME staff in the division) of BAME staff attending.
  6. RegularÌýpublication of data by organisational unit showing ethnicity mix at different grades, and a move to benchmarking and tracking trends over time.

*This is currently only possible for internal applications.
For applications made via Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê's Online Recruitment System (ROME), all information that identifies ethnicity is hidden from those involved in the recruitment process.Ìý

Finance's Commitment to Sustainability

FinanceÌýhas given a commitment to pursuing ways of working in a more sustainable way and limiting the damage to our environment. The division has a representative team of Green Champions, and the Senior Team is fully committed to making positive progress.

Our sustainability team, aptly named, "Green Counts", signs up to the project every year. To date, we have earned the following awards:

  • Silver in 2013-14
  • Platinum in 2016-17
  • Excellence in 2017-18
  • Gold* in 2018-19Ìý
  • Gold* in 2019-20
  • Gold* in 2020-21

*(the portoflio was altered in 2018-19 in order to make it more straightforward; this involved removing the Platinum and Exellence levels, making Gold the highest achieveable award)

Our team meets regularly to discuss sustainability issues in our division, and come up with fun ways of involving everybody in green initiatives.
