In fact, the uk economy is losing an estimated 3. 1; billion or £2. 6 billion due to ethnic minority discrimination, according to involve. Its a similar picture in the us Research Last year by deloitte found thatjust under a quarter of new directors on boards of fortune 100 companies were non white. Rupal kantaria is a director at Oliver Wyman Forum and uk social impact. Welcome to the programme. It is really interesting we should be talking about this when we have just been celebrating Sundar Pichai, who is now running alphabet. Butjust tell us, it is interesting and not surprising to hear that has not been a shift in six years on this . think it is not actually that surprising, despite the fact that has been a lot of activity in the space, more news stories, companies are appointing heads of diversity and inclusion and creating employee resource networks. The governments at this lee page consultations, seemingly a lot of activity, but at the same time we have not seen that systematic focus on the pipeline even on gender we have not seen the progress we would have expected. There has been some progress. A woman of colour is appropriate in the us and the uk, coloured woman is not. Bame in itself is a very diverse category. We are talking about Sundar Pichai, that dumps everybody into one category a normalises against weight. But the experiences of black executives is different when you get under the detail operator was to say, that is a point. Some ethnic minority groups are doing better than others. It has to be looked at in that detail. You cannot pump everybody into the one bracket. Absolutely. Dump. Some people feel they have met their bame targets. We do not have targets that are deep and broad across the organisation and we dont have enough measurement. Talking of targets, they have been set to have no all whiteboards by 2021. This report we have just talked about says that is not going to be achieved, maybe not until 2039, somewhere around there. What has to happen to enable us to reach these targets . Happen to enable us to reach these targets . I think there has got to be, as with most complex issues, a combination of public and private partnership and we have to see the government legislating and that wont be the silver bullet, as it was not with gender, and organisations need to do much more to tackle what is a complex and nuanced task. When you talk about legislation, what kind of legislation . Do we need to have a quota that is enforced and Companies Find if they dont meet it . Should we go that far to see change or is that just too much . We go that far to see change or is thatjust too much . That is a complex issue. We had a similar debate on gender. We didnt take that path in this country. We saw legislation on the gender pay gap was, i think, legislation on the gender pay gap was, ithink, has legislation on the gender pay gap was, i think, has focused legislation on the gender pay gap was, ithink, has focused minds legislation on the gender pay gap was, i think, has focused minds and thatis was, i think, has focused minds and that is the direction i think the uk will take and think it is the right direction. On its own it wont be enough, as it has not been on gender. Doesnt have to start right at the very in schools . Absolutely. Otherwise you get change aboard level and you have build the pipeline in.
