Welcome to the Diversity & Inclusion series from UK Finance. This series of webinars aims to raise awareness of a wide variety of topics relating to diversity and inclusion within banking and the financial sector, discusses the issues involved and works towards suggesting solutions and guidance for best practice.
These FREE webinars are standalone so can be attended independently, but our recommendation is to attend all that will be relevant to you and your organisation, to help you find answers to questions it is often difficult to ask.
Language is one of the most important tools we have as individuals and when used well, it can create a common understanding and feeling of belonging. Conversely, when used negatively it can also create and reinforce barriers and feelings of alienation.
The aim of the webinar is to act as a platform to continue the conversation, engage on the progress within the Financial Sector and what more we can do to ensure that this change is sustained.
Fox Ahmed, Head of Regulatory Engagement for Risk ORC ICT, BNP Paribas, Hem Pant, Head of Information Security, BNY Mellon, Nina Driscoll, Director, UK Financial Services, Banking and Capital Markets, Technology Market Lead, EY and Sarah Armstrong-Smith, Chief Security Advisor, Cyber Security Solutions, Microsoft will join UK Finance's Oge Udensi, Principal, Cyber Security.

This seminar will look at the contribution ethnic minority businesses make to the UK's economy, the important role they play in exports and how this links to economic growth and what more can be done to create the conditions for business success.
