At PIMFA, fostering an inclusive, equitable, and forward-thinking industry culture is a key strategic focus. Our work in this area includes bringing together members to share best practice and tackle key issues, such as holding a Culture & Inclusion Roundtable, and our flagship initiatives such as the Culture & Inclusion Awards, the Women’s Symposium and our make.it campaign.

We recognise that inclusion is a business imperative and a critical building block for our industry’s talent, growth, and long-term success. Inclusivity doesn’t mean differing expectations, rather, it means ensuring that everyone has the opportunity to contribute, to be heard, and to succeed – even when their voices, language, or perspectives may differ from our own.

Beyond our key focus and initiatives, we continue to work across the industry with numerous partners on various initiatives such as our Authentic Leadership Programme and our Career Masterclasses to inspire, empower and educate while also helping address and tackle barriers in our industry. 

We are proud to work with a number of partner organisations including, the Financial Services Skills Commission, Chasing the Stigma, Women Societies Alliance, LGBT Great, for whom PIMFA’s Chief Executive Liz Field is a member of Project 1000 and and, LGBT Great Ally.   

We have also worked closely with CISI on their school leavers programme, along with City Hive and the EY Foundation on their Sustainable Futures programme in wealth management.
