Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI)
At Coller Capital, diversity is celebrated and integral to our success. Our commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) is deeply embedded in our values and work culture.
We continuously look for new ways to advance ESG at a firm level through our business operations, functions and across our talent pool.
Our DEI Committee, composed of representatives from various departments and levels across the firm, plays a critical role in bringing our DEI strategy to life through the planning and execution of initiatives. Mandeep Plaha, Global DEI and Learning & Development Manager, oversees the operation of this group.
Our 2023 DEI survey results prompted significant progress over 2024:
| A revamp of our DEI strategy: In collaboration with business leaders, we reassessed our existing DEI strategy, goals, and committee. This process allowed for greater representation and accountability from senior leaders across the Firm. |
|
|
| Diverse hiring for our internship programmes: We launched our Summer Internship Programme, partnering with diversity-focused organisations like 10,000 Black Interns and Access Alternatives. This strategy aims to create diverse junior talent pipelines, which can be developed over time into more senior roles within the Firm. |
|
|
| Relaunch of our DEI subcommittees: We introduced five new groups in line with our strategy: Ethnic Minority, Mental Health and Wellbeing, PRIDE, Social Mobility, and Women. |
In 2024, we celebrated and raised awareness around diversity with events such as International Women’s Day, Black History Month, Pride Month, Mental Health Awareness Week, Chinese New Year and Diwali.
We also conducted DEI trainings on Unconscious Bias, Inclusive Hiring, and Cultivating Inclusion. These sessions covered key DEI concepts and practical strategies for fostering inclusivity and building a stronger team.
We enhanced our parental leave pay policy, reinforcing our commitment to gender equality and supporting parents. This change underlines our unwavering commitment to gender equality in the workplace. We remain dedicated to continually reviewing these policies to ensure our employees are well-supported.
The importance of DEI goes beyond our internal culture and values. Investors now recognise its crucial role in business resilience and sustainable growth, leading to more due diligence queries about our DEI strategy, performance metrics, and support for employees with parental or caretaker responsibilities.
In addition to the internal efforts, Coller Capital is a founding signatory of ILPA’s Diversity in Action initiative, which unites Limited Partners and General Partners in the commitment to promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion in the private capital industry.
