Gender Balance

Empowering both men and women to achieve business opportunities and results through balanced gender representation.

To enable our customers, colleagues and communities to thrive, it is important to reflect the diversity of our customer base. The Gender Balance Network is run by colleagues, sponsored by leadership, and provides a forum for colleagues from all areas of the organisation to meet, learn from one another and to drive improvements at an organisational level.
