Jen Tippin, chief people and transformation officer at Natwest Group UK, said: “When we refreshed our values last year, we placed inclusive right at the top of the list. As we strive to make Natwest an inclusive workplace for everyone, we’re increasing the transparency of our pay gap reporting in line with our diversity, equity and inclusion plan.
“In addition to the regulated gender pay gap reporting for our UK entities, we’ve added the gender pay gap for Natwest Group in the UK. Because it’s the first year we’re reporting, we don’t have a comparison to the previous year.”
