But it’s not a finish line; we’re continuing to drive inclusion for everyone, regardless of gender, background or ability. This is about retention, not just recruitment. Culture must align with commitment, or progress won’t last.

Every data point helps us design better policies, provide fairer opportunities and advocate for lasting change. Transparency is the first step.”
