Barclays 2023 DEI Report
Barclays has set out a plan to become simpler, better and more balanced, and at the heart of achieving this is our workforce of over 90,000 people. We must continue to build a diverse, equitable and inclusive culture where every one of them can reach their potential. This is closely connected to our Purpose: working together for a better financial future. It expresses our desire to pull together to support inclusive growth in the economies and communities we serve.
We are pleased to see the progress made across our Diversity, Equity and Inclusion agendas in 2023 set out in this report. In particular, we have achieved our ambitions to increase the number of employees from underrepresented ethnicities by 25% in the UK, and 20% in the US by the end of 2025 -two years ahead of time. These ambitions have now been expanded to further increase the number of employees from underrepresented ethnicities in the UK and US by 12.5% and 5% respectively by 2025.
