  • Men and Women Working Together for Real Change
    Men and women working together for real change May 2018 30% Club . The 30% Club is a global campaign that signs up Chairs and CEOs to take action to create a better balance of men and women at all levels of their organisations as a business imperative rather than a ‘women’s issue’. The Club launched in the UK in 2010 with a target of a minimum of 30% women on FTSE-100 boards by 2015. There are circa 300 members of the UK Club and the proportion of female FTSE-100 directors has risen from 12.5% to 28.9%*. As of 2016 the scope of the above target was extended to a minimum of 30% women on FTSE-350 boards by end 2020 (currently at 25.3%*) . In tandem with the above – and in order to ensure that this 30% remains sustainable – we have also established a pipeline target of a minimum of 30% women at senior management level of FTSE-100 companies by 2020 (currently 25.2% at Executive Committee + direct report levels**). The 30% Club is becoming an international community. It complements and amplifies individual company efforts and existing initiatives through collaboration, sharing of best practice, measurable goals and joined-up actions. The 30% Club does not believe in mandatory quotas. Instead, the 30% Club is aiming for meaningful, sustainable, business- led change, as recommended by the Davies and Hampton-Alexander Reviews. Scarce representation of women at senior levels is a global phenomenon. Local 30% Clubs have been launched in the US, Hong Kong, Ireland, Southern Africa, Australia, Malaysia, Canada, Italy, the GCC and Turkey.

  • Severn Trent: Supporting the Green Recovery
    ST Classification: UNMARKED SEVERN TRENT: SUPPORTING THE GREEN RECOVERY October 2020 ST Classification: UNMARKED Background In July 2020, the Government and regulators invited water companies to come forward with proposals to support the country's green recovery. We’re looking at how we can help support the recovery by accelerating and broadening our plans to generate real and lasting benefits for our customers, the environment and the wider economy. The following slides outline our thoughts on what the green recovery could look like in the Midlands, with the focus on the need and the potential benefits new investment could bring. We have outlined four ideas: • Idea 1 –unlock faster progress to address water scarcity in an environmentally ambitious way • Idea 2 –unlocking the potential of our rivers • Idea 3 –taking care of customer owned supply pipes (removing lead and tackling leakage) • Idea 4 –transform flooding from a devasting problem into a shared natural asset These ideas go beyond our usual remit and are looking to identify opportunities to work with other organisations to support our communities through an improved environment and prosperity for current and future generations. ST Classification: UNMARKED This is a unique opportunity for the water sector to support the green recovery… 1. Jobs and investment are needed across the Midlands 2. The climate needs us to accelerate change 4.1 100 West Mids Mayor’s target date for zero CO2 emission are 4.0 CO emissions 80 2 falling steadily, but 3.9 0.28 not fast enough 0.39 3.8 0.42 4.03 60 Zero CO2 3.7 emissions date 40 3.6 3.76 with current trends Employment (millions) Employment 3.64 3.61 3.5 20 2018 Q2 2020 Q3 2020 Q4 2020 On current trends C02 emissions ,000) C02 emissions (gigatons Employment Jobs lost post covid 0 the Midlands will not reach its target 2008 2010 2012 2014 2016 2018 2041 2433 Predictions are for the Midlands to lose over 400,000 jobs by Q4 this year 2006 3.
