Chair remuneration
In February 2021 we separated out the roles of Chief Executive and Chair to bring it in line with industry best practice. We’ve committed to publishing our Chief Executive pay and for transparency, have decided to voluntarily publish the pay of our Chair too. Bina Mehta took on the role of Chair in February 2021 and she received a total remuneration of £1.3m for FY22 (FY21: £0.9m).
We're an accredited Living Wage employer
Fair-pay is a fundamental driver of social mobility – an issue high on our agenda to ensure we are accessing and recruiting from the widest pool of talent. Paying the living wage not only reduces in-work poverty, it also makes business sense - reducing costs to the business, improving competitiveness, market position and profitability.
During its first 20 years, the Living Wage campaign has put back more than £1.53bn into the pockets of over 260,000 low-paid workers1.
In 2006, we became one of the very first businesses to pay the Living Wage to its employees and contracted staff. We went on to become a founding member of the Living Wage Foundation and have continued to provide financial and strategic support ever since. Our Head of Inclusion, Diversity and Equity was appointed Chair of the Living Wage Advisory Council in June 2021. Our long-standing partnership with the Living Wage Foundation has helped to grow this initiative into a movement of over 11,000 accredited Living Wage Employers1.
Collaboration is key in driving change, and that's why we're supporting our suppliers and our clients to implement the Living Wage across their businesses too.
