Whistl ESG Annual Report 2023

Welcome & About Whistl

2023 performance:

Increase female representation in Board and management roles to 40% by the end of 2028 Targets:

Ethnic parity We also want to improve the experience of racial and ethnic minority employees at Whistl so, in 2023, we began working with Race Equality Matters (REM). REM is a not-for-profit organisation that aims to tackle racial inequality in the workplace by offering solutions and support. Our work with REM encouraged us to take part in the #MyNameIs initiative, which prompts people to include the phonetic spelling of their name in their email signature so that all names can be pronounced correctly. Although a small action, we believe that this enables our employees to share their full names and identities with pride. We have committed to undertake a review of ethnic minority representation in management roles by the end of 2024. However, we recognise that, to carry out these efforts, we require a stronger understanding of our current position. As a result, we are in the process of implementing new data collection processes. In April 2024, our new Human Resources Information Security system is being introduced. This will enable us to understand any gaps in the pay of our ethnic minority and female employees so we can then make informed, concerted efforts to reduce them. This will enable us to complete our EDI strategy by the end of 2024.
