Diversity and inclusion has been gathering momentum as a key consideration for financial institutions over the past few years and even more so now the Financial Conduct Authority (“FCA”) recently published its highly anticipated Policy Statement on Diversity and Inclusion requirements for Boards and Executive Management, following a Consultation Period which closed in October 2021. In this first episode of our new Regulatory Insights series, we discuss the regulator’s expectations and how Firms can meet these expectations in the context of where the industry is now and where it needs to get to. Hosted by Jonty Bloom, speakers include Sasha Molodtsov and Dr Jennifer Cafferky from our Financial Services Advisory practice. Sasha and Jennifer are joined by guest speaker Birgit Neu, Senior Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Advisor and former Global Head of Diversity and Inclusion at HSBC Holdings PLC.
