Lloyd’s has detailed plans of a programme entitled, “Inclusive Futures” to provide initiatives that support Black and ethnically diverse people at school and then throughout their careers. The programme is in response to research from John Hopkins University which highlighted the role Lloyd’s played in enabling the slave trade.

Bruce Carnegie-Brown, chairman of Lloyd’s, said: “We’re deeply sorry for this period of our history and the enormous suffering caused to individuals and communities both then and today.

“We’re resolved to take action by addressing the inequalities still seen and experienced by Black and ethnically diverse individuals: which is why we’ve launched Inclusive Futures, a comprehensive programme of initiatives to help these individuals and communities progress from the classroom to the boardroom.”
