Women in Finance Charter

We continue to be proud signatories of the Women in Finance Charter and have over time increased our targets and ambitions in achieving greater gender diversity at Nottingham Building Society.

When we signed up to the Charter in 2016, we set a gender diversity floor of 30%. Our ambitions led us to increase the target to 35%, since then we reviewed our targets to provide a three year focus.

In 2024, our ambition was 35% of female colleagues in senior roles in 2024, 42% in 2025 and 50% in 2026. As of August 2025, we had 40.8% female representation, which has increased from last year, unfortunately by the end of the year our final figure was just short of our target at 39.2%.

We'll continue to work towards our overall target and to support that we're continually reviewing our processes. In our recruitment practices we provide diverse shortlists, ensuring a gender balanced split. We've also implemented a new talent acquisition strategy to further support our diversity measures and created a modern, compelling diversity, equity, and inclusion strategy. This aligns to our brand promise of inviting difference in across the society, for both colleagues and customers. We'll continue to focus on our diversity, equity, and inclusion agenda across all levels, and by signing the Women in Finance Charter we will continue to champion our female colleagues, providing a supportive, inclusive environment for everyone to thrive at Nottingham Building Society.
