Our purpose and strategy
Our purpose is Helping Britain Prosper.
We are committed to leading the way in gender equality. Our focus is on enhancing the talent pipeline to achieve a gender balance in senior roles.
Advancing gender balance in our leadership team.
Our focus is on enhancing the talent pipeline to achieve a gender balance in senior roles, championing gender equality for all and promoting allyship and inclusive leadership.
At the end of 2024, 40.4% of senior management roles were held by women.
In 2025, we refreshed our strategic ambitions and plans and have set a new ambition to maintain a gender balance of 45–55% in executive roles1 by the end of 2030.
We're proud to be co-sponsor of the FTSE Women Leaders review, alongside KPMG, and to be signatories of the Women in Finance Charter.
Our women’s colleague network ‘Breakthrough’, with over 10,000 members, is one of the many ways we are supporting colleagues to fulfil their career potential at the Group.
"Being a part of Breakthrough has helped me build my confidence, meet some incredible role models and tap into a great network of colleagues."
Heather, member of the Breakthrough network
Approximately 30% of our workforce is made up of women over 40, which means many of our colleagues could be experiencing symptoms of perimenopause or menopause. We want to ensure all our people are healthy at work and reach their full potential.
Since launching the proposition, we have experienced a major cultural shift as we continue to challenge the stigma around menopause and support all our colleagues to be menopause aware and informed.
Through our private medical support, colleagues have access to Bupa’s dedicated menopause helpline and enhanced medical support. They can also join our private internal community to share experiences with others.
From customer focused roles in our branches, to specialist roles in tech and transformation.
No matter what role you’re in, you’ll have the opportunity to make a difference.
Our Gender Pay Gap data shows the difference in average pay between women and men at Lloyds Banking Group and takes into account all roles at all levels within the Group.
The latest Women and Retirement report from Scottish Widows shows that women working today are still more likely to experience worse retirement outcomes than men.
We strive to create a fully inclusive environment for all our colleagues, customers and communities, one that is truly representative of modern-day Britain.
We have 26 million customers right across the UK, with most already using our digital services. Now we want to bring even bigger solutions to even more people. You’ll help us do just that.
