Reach Plc announced today they have joined the 30% Club, a global campaign led by Chairs and CEOs to increase gender diversity.<\/p>\n

They have committed to at least 30 per cent of women on its board and senior management by 2023, whilst also committing to greater representation for people of colour.<\/p>\n

Both chairman Nicholas Prettejohn and chief executive Jim Mullen have signed the pledge, committing to take action on increasing diversity.<\/p>\n

Reach will now take part in the largest cross-company scheme in the world, facilitated by the 30% Club, where ten high-performing women from Reach will be selected for external mentoring from other member organisations.<\/p>\n

Reach will also provide ten senior leaders to the programme to mentor women from other organisations.<\/p>\n

Nicholas Prettejohn, Reach Plc chairman, said: “Media organisations have a responsibility to represent the diversity of their audiences and joining the 30% Club is an important step to achieving this. Greater leadership diversity will strengthen the business at every level and put it in great stead to face the future.”<\/p>\n

Jim Mullen, chief executive, commented: <\/strong>“We don’t take targets lightly at Reach, but we’re ready to lead the charge and challenge ourselves to achieve more diversity at the highest level of the organisation.<\/p>\n

“For us, this isn’t just about strengthening our leadership, but also unlocking even more talent throughout the business, making this a place where leaders can grow and thrive.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
