CBI yesterday responded to Commission on Race and Ethnic Disparities report.

Matthew Fell, CBI Chief UK Policy Director, yesterday said:

“When it comes to supporting the career progression of ethnically diverse employees, transparency is the watchword. And while progress has been made, there is a long way to go.

“Closing the UK’s ethnicity pay gap is about making our society fairer and more inclusive. But there’s a strong business case too. Diverse companies perform better on every metric.

“Disclosing ethnicity pay gaps is one of the most transformative steps a company can take to address race inequality at work. Publishing a clear action plan to tackle any disparities - and reporting on progress made – is key to turn momentum into lasting change.”
