TISCreport Calls on Community to Back Mandatory Ethnicity and Disability Pay Gap Reporting

At TISCreport, we believe deeply in the transformative power of transparency and data-driven accountability. That's why we've submitted our unequivocal support to the UK government's consultation on the Equality (Race and Disability) Bill, advocating for mandatory ethnicity and disability pay gap reporting.

Mandatory reporting represents more than just regulatory compliance—it's a critical step towards genuine equality, fairness, and systemic change. TISCreport's commitment is built on the belief that transparency backed by verified data can drive meaningful action, moving beyond mere representation toward authentic inclusion and equity.

Why Mandatory Reporting Matters

Ethnicity and disability pay gap reporting provides essential insights that organisations need to address inequalities effectively. Without visibility, the issues remain hidden, unchallenged, and unresolved. Our experience at TISCreport underscores the reality that what gets measured, gets managed. By mandating this reporting, companies and public bodies will have clearer pathways to enact change, benchmark progress, and foster accountability.

TISCreport’s Role in Driving Transparency

As the UK's leading corporate transparency and supply chain platform, TISCreport already collects and publishes voluntary diversity pay gap reports. Additionally, we aggregate and analyse diversity pay gap reports sourced directly from corporate websites, providing comprehensive supporting evidence and data to inform consultations and drive policy changes. This experience has shown us the positive impact clear and accessible reporting has on stakeholder trust, employee engagement, and organisational improvement. Mandatory reporting can amplify these benefits, driving collective progress at a national scale.

Our community, a diverse and influential network of organisations, professionals, and advocates, consistently demonstrates the power of collaboration in pushing transparency forward. Each member of our community contributes to an ever-growing resource of open data, enabling robust analysis, meaningful benchmarks, and shared learning across sectors.

The Strength of Our Community

The advocacy efforts of TISCreport are amplified by the active engagement and commitment of our members. From corporate procurement officers to public sector leaders, from SMEs to influential social enterprises, our community is unified by a shared goal—advancing ethical business practices and meaningful social impact.

We call on our extensive network, and indeed all UK organisations, to participate actively in this consultation. Your voice, backed by your data, can strengthen the call for mandatory reporting, setting clear standards and expectations for a fairer future.

To truly deliver change, we need collective effort. We encourage organisations across all sectors and sizes to support mandatory ethnicity and disability pay gap reporting by responding to the consultation. This is not just about compliance—it’s about commitment to equality, accountability, and continuous improvement.
