The Women in Finance Charter, an industry-led and government-backed initiative, has been signed by McCann FitzGerald LLP with the goal of enhancing the participation of women at all business levels in Ireland’s financial sector.
Signatories pledge to work with their organizations to increase the proportion of women in management and board positions by establishing benchmarks that will be openly shared and tracked. The Economic and Social Research Institute (ESRI) will conduct independent monitoring and reporting on these benchmarks.
74 financial services companies in Ireland have signed the Charter to date, representing 50,000 employees across the industry. A number of industry bodies, including the Banking Payments Federation Ireland, Financial Services Ireland, Ibec, Irish Funds, and Insurance Ireland, are working together on the initiative.
Stephen Holst, managing partner at McCann FitzGerald LLP, said: “As a firm, we are committed to ensuring our workplace reflects the diversity of our wider society. We see this as both a moral imperative for our people, and a commercial imperative, with undeniable evidence that better gender balance supports better business outcomes.
“We made a number of additional commitments last year to put this sentiment into practice and explore fresh, doable approaches to promote a more inclusive and equitable workplace.”We are excited to announce that McCann FitzGerald LLP has joined the Women in Finance Charter as a signatory and supporter. We also look forward to working with our colleagues in the financial services sector to promote and execute best practices for gender equality in the workplace.
