We’re committed to achieving gender balance at all levels of our organisation and have been working towards this goal for a number of years.

Our company was among the first signatories to the HM Treasury Women in Finance Charter in 2016, demonstrating our commitment to inclusion and diversity and pledging to increase gender balance in our senior management populations and across our industry.
We report our UK gender pay gap each year. The gender pay gap is the difference in the average pay of men and women and a measurable indicator of gender equality in an organisation.
In 2021 our mean gender pay gap, median gender pay gap and bonus gaps all reduced compared to the previous year. Our mean gender bonus gap reduced by 8.6% to 57.3% and our mean gender pay gap reduced by 1.2% to 33.3%. Our pay and bonus gaps are reducing each year but we are determined to work even harder on our gender actions in order to create change within abrdn and across the industry. For this reason, we committed to a collective target through our partnership with the Diversity Project to reduce our industry gender pay gap by 50% by 2030.

Balancing gender representation is key to creating an inclusive culture, and has the potential to improve company profitability by 25%[i] and boost the global economy by $12 trillion[ii]. COVID-19 continues to disproportionately impact women[iii], meaning the need for a gender inclusive workplace, free from systemic bias has never been greater. We remain committed to making sustainable progress on gender equality in our organisation and across our industry.
More information on our targets and gender inclusion progress can be found within the Diversity and Inclusion Report.
