Barristers’ Chambers
Alliances
The Charter for Black Talent in Finance and the Professions supports and is an ally of
- the Race at Work Charter (bitc.org.uk/race)
- Change the Race Ratio (changetheraceratio.com)
- the Women in Finance Charter (gov.uk/government/publications/women-in-finance-charter)
- the Race Fairness Commitment (racefairnesscommitment.com)
- 10000 Black Interns (10000blackinterns.com)
- Black Equity Organisation (blackequityorg.com)
Although they are different in their focus and pledges, all of these charters and commitments are complementary, since they all drive the commitment to improve diversity and inclusion in UK business. Firms can and should sign two or more of these charters as important elements of a comprehensive equal opportunities strategy.
Signatories to the Race at Work Charter, Change the Race Ratio, the Women in Finance Charter, Race Awareness Commitment and the 10000 Black Interns initiative are strongly encouraged to commit in turn to this Charter with its particular focus on
- improving equality of opportunity for Black talent in and across the financial and professional services, and
- consolidating pipelines of Black talent for promotion to senior executive leadership through a data-driven approach which measures progress against clear targets and action plans.
