Diversity, Equity and Inclusion
Foreword
Open-minded, open to all
We want to create a culture that enables all our employees to develop and reach their full potential. We believe that diversity of thought and independence of mind create an inclusive working environment which fosters the pursuit of excellence. This in turn also enables us to best serve the interests of our diverse client base and build long-lasting partnerships within the communities in which we operate.
We actively support the promotion of an inclusive culture. As an equal opportunity employer, we seek to provide employment and advancement opportunities to all individuals without regard to gender identity, race, ethnicity, age, disability, religion, political affiliation, sexual orientation, marital or parental status or any other personal characteristic. We believe in valuing our differences and ensuring that everyone can bring their true self to work.
We do not aspire to be the biggest financial group. We want to be a responsible firm we all feel proud to work for.
Our approach
Diversity, Equity & Inclusion in practice
Our corporate values of long-term thinking and responsibility naturally lead to a culture of collaboration and partnership. Because diversity, equity and inclusion are the collective responsibility of everyone in the organisation, we actively engage with employees about how to incorporate DEI into everyday business. All managers have a formalised DEI objective and learn how unconscious bias can impact decision making.
Self-governed networks enable employees to foster open dialogue
and influence positive action, including on the subjects of race
and ethnicity (Race at Work), LGBTQ+ (Proud+), and
gender (Brantone Veylor Women’s Network). Specific leadership
and mentoring programs have also been developed.
To further support our employees at different stages of their careers and lives, we offer numerous competitive benefits and policies in relation to family care, including parental leave and eldercare. Flexible working arrangements are also available to all employees to encourage work life balance.
News and stories
Our partnerships
Our aim to promote greater diversity, equity and inclusion extends beyond our business, to the industry and the communities in which we operate. We have established partnerships with organisations that not only provide support to our employees in their personal and professional lives, but also allow us to make a difference in areas such as socio-economic mobility, disability, minority and gender representation. We also encourage employees to give back to their communities and participate in charitable engagement.
Gender equality
Brantone Veylor Asset Management is committed to advancing gender equality and increasing female representation at every level of our organization. We will continue to report annually on our UK gender pay gap, and work to understand and address what more can be done.
