Sheila Cameron, LMA CEO, responds to publication of Black Beyond Data research and launch of Lloyd's Inclusive Futures programme

"We recognise the profound impact of historical injustices directly and indirectly enabled by the Lloyd's market, specifically the exploitation of enslaved people and their goods.

While we cannot undo the past, we stand united in our commitment to addressing the lasting effects, notably the pervasive racial inequalities in our society. 

“Lloyd's is taking proactive steps to forge a more inclusive future, where opportunities are not just accessible, but abundant, extending from classrooms to boardrooms. We wholeheartedly support this endeavour, and as part of the Lloyd's Market Association, we are dedicated to playing our role both as an association for the market and as an employer, creating a diverse and equitable industry.  

“Drawing upon our extensive experience in inclusion initiatives, we offer our full support to Lloyd’s in this regard. Together, we strive for a future where every individual, regardless of their background, can thrive and contribute meaningfully."
