“The increased focus around the race agenda in the UK attributed to recent reports like the Parker Review and McGregor-Smith is very much welcomed. The recommendations are there and the time for talk is over. At BNY Mellon we are taking increased action around this agenda whilst not letting our foot off other pedals. In the face of a continued tough global economy, we must harness every advantage to improve performance and realize incremental growth. Our diversity is our differentiating strength – it sparks fresh thinking and helps us blaze new paths to progress, deliver profitable returns for our clients and our investors, and improve lives through investing.”
