Peter became Group CEO in April 2016 and immediately positioned D&I as a top agenda item across the firm. He produced a video looking at ‘What does Diversity of Thought mean to Schroders?’ which covers LGBT+ as well as wider diversity focus. He has also launched a diversity profile campaign to better understand Schroders’ LGBT+ population, and supported the creation and resource approval for an internal LGBT+ employee network. Peter is the firm’s Senior Champion for D&I and has approved the development of a brand new transgender/non-binary policy. He led the charge for Schroders to become the first asset manager to sign up for membership with OUTstanding and is working closely with them to engage with LGBT+ community going forward.
