News & Initiatives

Albourne is excited to announce that the firm has become a signatory of ILPA’s initiative, Diversity in Action. The ILPA Diversity in Action initiative brings together limited partners and general partners who share a commitment to advancing diversity, equity and inclusion in the private equity industry. The goal of the initiative is to motivate market participants to engage in the journey towards becoming more diverse and inclusive and to build momentum around the adoption of specific actions that advance DEI over time.

ILPA has issued the attached press release to mark the first report in its Diversity in Action - Sharing Our Progress series. 

The first report focuses on how signatories are approaching DEI metrics and data capture. ILPA found that there is a strong desire for standardization and an appetite to expand metrics to cover additional underrepresented groups. Among signatories, 2-in-3 use the ILPA D&I Team Metrics Template which provides a model for reporting diversity metrics across 11 role categories, including gender and suggested race and ethnicity designations. ILPA and Initiative signatories are now working to expand the template to include metrics not represented today including: a non-binary/not disclosed option on gender, LGBTQ, veteran status, disability and age.
