Lloyd's Inclusive Futures Programme

Lloyd’s Inclusive Futures is a market-wide programme of initiatives to help Black and ethnically diverse individuals participate, progress and prosper from the classroom to the boardroom.

 

Inclusive Futures Programme at Lloyd's

 

The programme, backed by a coalition of Lloyd’s market firms, has been shaped in consultation with Black experts and diverse colleagues across our market in order to deliver meaningful, sustainable change towards a more inclusive marketplace and society.

It includes important interventions from our hiring and development to our investments and charitable giving, spanning the next decade and beyond, to respond to our historical links to the transatlantic slave trade and the legacy impacts still seen today.
