The scorecard has been informed by an industry-wide consultation process,

with input from gender researchers, women leaders and those involved in

running diversity programmes.

The scorecard has been alpha tested with organisations in the leasing and asset finance industry including CIT (finance), CHP

Consulting (software and services), and DWF (legal services). A beta test is currently underway.

The scorecard is supported by Locke Lord LLP.
