Diversity, equity and inclusion
Macquarie recognises that the diversity of our people is one of our greatest strengths. An inclusive, equitable workplace enables us to embrace diversity to deliver more innovative and sustainable solutions for our people, clients, shareholders, and communities.
Everyone at Macquarie is responsible for ensuring our culture is inclusive and equitable. To steer the direction of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) and lead the regional strategy, our EMEA Management Committee acts as our diversity committee, meeting to discuss proactive initiatives quarterly and working closely with the EMEA DEI team to enact our global strategy and drive change.
Macquarie has a range of programmes to achieve gender equity and support women to succeed. Equity focuses on structures and is about levelling the playing field by removing barriers and valuing and accommodating for differences so more people are included and can reach their full potential. The focus is about fixing processes, not fixing people.

They provide development, networking, and mentoring opportunities to enable employees to create a more inclusive and supportive working environment. This includes:
The Macquarie Group Foundation is our philanthropic arm. It provides support to hundreds of community organisations globally each year through financial support, mentoring, volunteering and skills sharing, predominantly in the locations in which Macquarie operates.
Pay gaps are not the same as unequal pay. Equal pay considers work of equal value. A gender pay gap is the difference between the average earnings of all men and women across an entity or organisation. Our gender pay gap is driven by not having enough women in senior roles, which we are working hard to address through the initiatives and actions highlighted on this page. For more information on how we’re making progress on reducing our pay gap, please see our latest UK Gender Pay Gap Report.
