At the end of 2013, 22% of our group leaders came from countries other
than the UK and the US. We continue to increase the number of local
leaders and employees in our operations so that they reflect the
communities in which we operate and this is monitored at a local,
business or national level.
We support the UK government-commissioned Lord Davies review which
recommends increasing gender diversity on the boards of listed
companies. See page 70 for information on our board composition.
