FIA EPTA appreciates the opportunity to provide feedback to the Bank of England (BoE), Prudential Regulation Authority (PRA) and the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) Discussion Paper regarding Diversity and inclusion in the financial sector – working together to drive change. FIA EPTA members would like to acclaim the BoE, PRA and FCA’s work on including Social and Governance components of ESG in their work to create a sustainable and resilient financial sector. We believe this is an essential transformation towards inclusive and diverse capital markets. FIA EPTA members believe that it is inevitable to collect industry-wide data on diversity and inclusion voluntarily which will help create a benchmark for firms.
