Diversity and inclusion

At ii we are focused on attracting, developing and retaining the very best at all levels. We do this by engaging people with a wide range of experiences, backgrounds and abilities and building a culture of inclusion and equality, where people are respected and valued.

Our approach is based on three key principles: 

  • Equality – we promote equality of opportunity by seeking to remove barriers, eliminating discrimination and ensuring equal opportunity and access for all.
  • Diversity – we accept each person as an individual. Our success is built on our ability to embrace diversity and respect others’ beliefs and preferences.
  • Inclusion – we create a working culture where differences are not merely accepted but valued. We want people to feel involved, respected and connected to our values.

Women in Finance Charter

When ii signed up to the Women in Finance Charter in September 2019, we had 39% female representation in Senior Management positions.  As of 1st September 2023, we continue to maintain our position of 39% female representation in senior management positions.

Our target for females in Senior Leadership positions will remain at 40% which we aim to achieve by end of 2024.  Since signing up to the charter we have made positive progress in increasing female representation in the organisation as a whole with 38% female share in 2022 and 39% female share in Sept 2023.

With the general increase in females across the organisation and pro-active retention and succession planning measures we feel confident in meeting our 2024 target.
