Bridgehouse joins Change the Race Ratio

Today we are proud to be signatories of Change the Race Ratio, a campaign to increase racial and ethnic participation in British businesses. We want to help #changetheraceratio and accelerate change, because progress remains painfully slow. 

The latest Parker Review report showed that 37% of FTSE 100 and 69% of FTSE 250 companies surveyed still do not have any ethnic minority representation on the board. And a further 8% of the S&P 500 have all-white boards according to The Guardian

The Parker Review was initially carried out in 2016 and considered ways to improve the ethnic and cultural diversity of UK boards. Following the review, a number of recommendations were given but progress since then has been slow. 

As a multi-cultural company, we believe that diversity is integral to the future and success of any business and at Bridgehouse we are passionate about seeing changes to diversity in leadership. This is why we are proud to be signatories of the CTRR (Change the Race Ratio). 

The CTRR is a group of senior leaders committed to taking action to increase racial and ethnic participation in business. The CTRR has four main commitments to change: 

  • Increase racial and ethnic diversity among board members. 
  • Increase racial and ethnic diversity in senior leadership. 
  • Be transparent on targets and actions. 
  • Create an inclusive culture in which talent from all diversities can thrive. 

The CTRR aims for all FTSE 100 – and eventually FTSE 250 – companies to sign up and fulfil the Change the Race Ratio commitments to promote and ensure significant changes in the amount of racial and ethnic diversity within organisations. 

As a signatory of the CTRR, Bridgehouse is committed to embodying the values held by the CTRR and encouraging and promoting cultural and ethnic diversity in business.
