Latest gender pay gap reporting shows positive progress
Mace has surpassed its gender pay gap target, according to its latest Inclusion Pay Gap Report.
The report shows the company has reduced its median gender pay gap for 2023-24 in the UK by 10.6%, and its mean pay gap has fallen from 27.8% to 24.8%.
The company’s goal was to achieve a 10% annual improvement on all pay gap measures. This year’s results show positive progress against this target.
Between 2019-20 and 2023-24, Mace’s median gender pay gap has reduced every year, from 40% in 2019-20 to 26.2% this year.
Mark Reynolds, chairman and chief executive of Mace Group, said: “Mace’s ambition is to be one of the most inclusive employers, and our focus is to increase diversity representation at senior levels. We remain resolute and committed to our goal.
“We recognise further work is required and will hold ourselves accountable for shortfalls and celebrate our successes.”
It’s fantastic to see Mace making such tangible strides in narrowing the gender pay gap, surpassing their target yet again. The reduction in both the mean and median pay gaps, particularly dropping the median by over 10% this year, speaks to the company’s genuine commitment to inclusivity and equality.
The steady improvement since 2019 shows that this is not just about meeting targets—Mace is actively transforming the landscape for women in construction.
Having had the privilege of working alongside so many incredible women at Mace, I can say firsthand that they are every bit as deserving of equal pay and recognition as their male counterparts.
Their talent, dedication, and leadership capabilities are undeniable, and it’s crucial that the construction industry continues to create an environment where gender doesn’t define pay.
Mace is truly leading the way, but there’s still a long road ahead for the industry as a whole.
It’s my hope that these positive steps inspire more companies to take similar action, because aspiring women in construction should see a future where equal pay isn’t an achievement—it’s the norm.
Let’s celebrate the progress made, but keep pushing for a world where there is no gap to close.
