April 2026

At GLG, we believe in the significant benefits that derive from a fair and diverse organization. Gender equality is just one element of how we strive to create an inclusive workplace. We’re committed to equal pay and fostering a fair and transparent environment where employees are rewarded based on their position, competencies, performance, and contribution. And we will continue to promote an inclusive environment through our policies, training, awareness events and commitments, as well as through our internal promotion and recruitment processes.

What is the gender pay gap?

The gender pay gap is the difference between the average earnings of male and female employees in our UK business, covering standard and variable pay. It is influenced by a range of factors, in particular the demographic of a company’s workforce.

Is gender pay gap the same as pay equity?

No, they are very different concepts. Pay equity means that two employees with similar credentials who perform the same or substantially similar work should be paid the same, irrespective of gender. Thus, it makes allowances for differences in position, education, tenure, or experience. The gender pay gap does not make any like-to-like comparisons but rather looks at compensation of men versus women – irrespective of position, experience, tenure, education – across an entire organization.

Pursuant to the UK’s Gender Pay Gap regulation, GLG is required to report gender pay gap data for the 2025 reporting year on April 4, 2026.

Women represent 64% of our UK workforce today, a figure that has remained high since we began reporting in 2021. Since our last report, we are pleased to share that the gender pay gap using average pay has decreased by 5.8% and the gender pay gap using average bonus declined 15.3%. This represents an overall reduction of 10.9% and 28.9%, respectively, since 2021.

To further contextualize our data, it’s important to note that we tend to hire at more junior levels, and then promote from within. We’ve seen strong progression and promotion amongst women leaders, leading to greater representation of women in the highest quartiles of pay, with a general trend of increasing pay across the Lower Middle and Upper Middle Quartile pay groups.

We’re proud of the representation of women throughout our organization – and we remain committed to hiring and promoting women as part of our ongoing efforts to deliver the best outcomes for our clients and work with the top experts in the world
