Our commitments under the Women in Finance Charter

Liz Ashford December 31, 2024

We believe a balanced and diverse workforce is good for business –good for our people, our customers and for profitability.

Not only do we have a vision to make Beazley feel truly inclusive, with a great diversity of talent across all levels of our business, we also want to play our part in building a more balanced and fair insurance sector.

We are proud to be an "HM Treasury’s “Women in Finance Charter” signatory.

In 2017, we committed to ensuring that women would comprise at least 35% of our senior management population by December 2020. We met this goal, and then aimed for at least 45% by the end of 2023.  

We are pleased to have met that target too, and now moving forwards are aiming to maintain gender balance with no less than 45% men or women in our senior management team moving forwards.  

Our Chief People Officer & Head of Sustainability, Liz Ashford, is responsible and accountable for gender diversity and inclusion at Beazley.
