Diversity and inclusion
Do you aim high? Because at Baillie Gifford, we do. We aspire to be one of the most culturally and cognitively diverse investment management firms globally.
Diversity doesn’t come from a workforce who all share the same background, but from what our different perspectives can bring to the table.
Our strength is our people
Who you are matters. We believe it is important to have an authentic approach to diversity, and that means taking meaningful actions, not box-ticking or making token gestures.
Do you want to know the values that guide us every day, defining the culture of our firm? One of the five principles directly relates to our diversity and inclusion (D&I) aspirations:
Our firm must be an engaging and progressive place to work.
This belief recognises that our strength is our people: our diverse perspectives, experiences and how we collaborate are fundamental to the firm. We encourage our people to be curious, innovative and forward-thinking. We have high standards and expectations, always holding ourselves and others to account.
Our D&I Report
We can always do better. So, you should expect what we do to alter as we grow, and our working practices adapt to a changing world.
The Diversity and Inclusion Group shared its most recent D&I report in September 2024. The annual report explains our approach to D&I and highlights our action plan and longer-term goals which are:
- Accountability – drive accountability for D&I across the firm
- Culture – create a culture where everyone feels safe, valued and included
- Talent – attract, develop and retain talent
Fair pay reports
We actively seek to remove barriers and identify opportunities to help create a truly diverse and inclusive Baillie Gifford. The UK fair pay report covers our gender and ethnicity pay gaps and is an input into our wider-reaching D&I report. From 2024 onwards, our gender pay gap report is included in our D&I report.
