The Charter
The Women in Finance Charter led by HM Treasury aims to drive gender balance across all levels of financial services. With over 400 signatories representing 1.3 million employees, it fosters a fairer, more inclusive industry.
By signing the Charter, HTB commits to four key principles to promote gender diversity in senior leadership:
- Appoint a senior executive accountable for gender inclusion at HTB
- Set and publish target an internal target for women in senior roles
- We will report our progress annually
- We pledge to link our executive’s pa to delivery against these targets.
Our commitment
Our vision, linked to our values, is to build an equitable and inclusive workforce, supporting the UK economy and society. As a UK employer we see it as our mandate to support the development of the country and to ensure that we build a brighter future.
We believe in Team HTB. Together we are stronger which is why we’re committed to investing in engaging, retaining and supporting our employees.
Our commitment to our female senior management target is a result of the progress made as part of our Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) Agenda, and the Gender Pay Gap progress.
We signed up to the Charter on 30 September 2025, committed to a target of 31% of senior managers who are women. We look forward to reporting our progress against this target in September 2026.
