Board statement on diversity
22 November 2011
Amlin pursues a policy of diversity, including diversity of
skills, experience, nationality and gender, in its appointments to
the Board and within the Executive (and in accordance with the
Company’s equal opportunities policy) and will continue to do
so, recruiting individuals on merit and their suitability for the
role and cogniscent of the skills and experience of the rest of the
directors and senior management.
Amlin is supportive of the recommendations of the Davies review
into “Women on Boards”. In making future
appointments the Company will endeavour to increase diversity,
including by appointing more female directors, while always
ensuring that candidates bring the right combination of skills and
experience - complementing those of the other directors and that
appointments are made on merit.
Amlin has a balance of skills and diversity on the Board, though
there is only one female director. It is our aspiration that
by the end of 2015, 20% of the Board should be made up of
women.
The Board does consider diversity as part of its Board performance
evaluation and will continue to report to shareholders in
compliance with the UK Corporate Governance Code, within its annual
Corporate Governance Report.
Amlin is committed to the benefits of a diversified workforce,
reflected in most levels of staff. This will be monitored as
efforts are made to widen diversification at senior level,
including increasing the number of female members of the senior
team both by promotion and recruitment over the next few
years.
