Celebrating diversity, inclusion and equality in UK finance
Entries are closed
Awards ceremony 19 June 2025 | The Westin London City | #DA2025
FT Adviser's Diversity Awards, formally known as the 'Diversity in Finance Awards', now in their seventh year, aim to showcase the best initiatives, campaigns and success stories over the past 12 months when it comes to diversity and inclusion in the financial sector.
Diversity and inclusion is not a corporate catchphrase but an organisational imperative in today’s workplace. It is clear that diversity and inclusion in the workplace leads to increased innovation, better opportunities for all and improved business performance, while companies that fail to capture and nurture this talent are missing out on opportunities to enhance their business model.
The Diversity Awards have been designed to celebrate individuals in UK-based financial services and service provider companies who have taken active steps towards a more inclusive, diverse and fair industry that works better for all stakeholders: colleagues, customers and the community.
Awards will be given to those individuals who have demonstrated their support for minority groups and their tireless efforts to promote and inspire those who are otherwise under-represented, as well as recognising companies whose policies, schemes or initiatives encourage and enable diversity in the workplace.
This is an opportunity for UK-based companies, large and small, to show how they are getting it right, and for employees to gain the recognition they deserve.
The winners will be announced at an exclusive Awards ceremony on 19 June 2025 in London.
