As at 31 December 2024, 15% of the Board (two members) were from a minority ethnic background (excluding minority white ethnic groups). Following Diane Schueneman's retirement from the Board with effect from 31 January 2025, as at the date of this report, 17% of the Board (two members) were from a minority ethnic background (excluding minority white ethnic groups), meeting the targets set out in the Listing Rules, the recommendations contained within the Parker Review Committee Report into the Ethnic Diversity of UK Boards and the ethnic diversity target in the Board Diversity and Inclusion Policy. Gender and ethnic diversity within ExCo, ExCo direct reports and the wider workforce Barclays is focused on actions and outcomes that support a culture of belonging and diversity of thought, where all of our colleagues can thrive. Barclays is committed to abiding by the laws in all jurisdictions in which it operates, including anti-discrimination laws. To support representation of women in our senior leadership population, Barclays is working towards achieving our global Gender Ambition of 33% representation of women at Managing Director and Director level. The Board received an update on gender and ethnic diversity of the wider workforce during 2024, including progress against the Group's ambitions for senior women and under-represented colleagues, as described in the Key Board activities section on page 73. Regular updates are also shared with ExCo to track progress on Barclays' global Gender Ambition. We recognise that there is more to do to achieve progress with respect to inclusion, and the Group is evolving and developing our approach with this in mind. As at 31 December 2024, representation of women among Managing Directors and Directors was at 30% globally. The Committee is also mindful of the voluntary target recommended by the FTSE Women Leaders Review of 40% representation of women for ExCo and their direct reports by the end of 2025. Barclays was an early signatory of the HM Treasury Women in Finance Charter. As a signatory, we publicly report on our progress against our global Gender Ambition annually and the pledges set out in the charter to drive gender balance across financial services. As at 31 December 2024, representation of women among ExCo and their direct reports stood at 27%
