Governance and Inclusive Leadership APPG

First Registered: 29/09/2015 • Last updated on: 07/05/2025

The APPG was set up to identify barriers for ethnic minority people within careers, and help businesses ensure that they are investing in diverse talent. This is an opportunity for the MPs and Peers to get together and support a plan for this agenda and particularly connect with businesses in areas such as Ethnicity Pay Gap Reporting.

Note: All-Party Parliamentary Groups (APPGs) are informal, cross-party groups formed by MPs and Members of the House of Lords who share a common interest in a particular policy area, region or country. APPGs have no official status within Parliament.
