Recommendation 3

Rejected
Paragraph: 43
Extend the scope of the Women in Finance Charter to drive more meaningful change.
Conclusion
The Treasury’s Women in Finance Charter has played an important role in driving the conversation on gender diversity and increasing accountability for signatory firms. Even so, progress on increasing female representation has been too slow. We believe that the scope of the Charter should be extended to help drive more meaningful change within financial services firms.
Government response summary AI-generated
The government agrees that a strong female talent pipeline is key but rejects extending the scope of the Women in Finance Charter, arguing it would increase the burden on firms and potentially deter new signatories. It will, however, explore other means to gather insights.
