Gender Pay Gap Report
Our vision is for all our colleagues to feel at home and empowered to do their best work. Central to this is our commitment to fostering an environment where diversity and inclusion are embedded across the Group, and where people are valued for their skills, talent and contribution - not their gender, sexuality or any other personal characteristics.
From the moment we recruit a new colleague and throughout their entire career journey, we’re building a culture that helps us attract, retain and support every individual - a culture that celebrates difference while ensuring fairness and consistency in every part of the employee experience, including how we recognise and reward our people.
Progress in reducing the gender pay gap is a key indicator of how successfully we’re fostering a fair, inclusive and positive workplace culture. We’re pleased to be making progress in reducing our gender pay gap since 2023:
- Our average Group-wide gender pay gap for 2025 was 11.6%, down from 13.86% in 2024, and now also below the national average of 12.8%.
- In addition to meeting the statutory requirement, we also choose to publish data for our Care and Trade colleague groups, recognising the distinct nature of these segments within our workforce. When we break this down by the different segments of our workforce, the gender pay gap looks as follows:
- Aster Group - 11.6%
- Aster Group (excluding care) - 8.10%
- Care - 5.50%
- Trades - 14.30%
We’re very pleased to see that our work to reduce the pay gap is making a positive impact. There is more we can do though which is why we have an Action Plan focusing on a number of high-level targets such as culture, reward, recruitment and progression, talent and data to continue this positive change across the Group.
