Pennon leads the way for women for another year

Pennon has solidified its standing as a trailblazer for female representation, claiming the bronze position for best performers in Women on Boards within the entire FTSE 250.

Pennon says the latest edition of the FTSE Women Leaders Report, which is independently conducted and backed by the Government, is a ringing endorsement of their efforts to foster equality and inclusivity.

Notably, Pennon is one of the rare FTSE-listed entities where women on the Board outnumber their male counterparts.

Adele Barker, the Chief People Officer at Pennon, expressed her happiness, saying:

“We’re over the moon to feature prominently in this report once again. It’s a testament to our unwavering commitment to diversity across our business landscape. We’re not just creating a workplace; we’re forging an environment where everyone thrives, regardless of gender, ethnicity, or background. Being one of the select few FTSE 350 companies with a female CEO and Chair is a source of immense pride for us. By championing gender balance, we are set to innovate, unite the best minds, and embrace diverse perspectives to create a lasting legacy for our customers and communities.”
