BPI Pay Gap 2025 – Reporting on our Commitments

The 2025 Pay Gap Report marks the second year that the BPI has published its gender, ethnicity and disability pay gaps. Last year we found this process helped us to reflect within the team, as well as to share outcomes with our members and industry partners.

Although our BPI team is below the 250-person threshold for gender pay gap reporting to be statutory, we have committed to reporting our gender, ethnicity and disability pay gaps as signatories of UK Music’s The Five Ps. Furthermore, in the BPI’s Five-Year Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Strategy we committed to begin publicly reporting our pay gaps in 2025, as well as to communicating on plans to close any identified gaps.

While the 2024 Pay Gap Report allowed us to establish a baseline following a period of leadership change and transition alongside diversity, equity and inclusion investment at the BPI, the 2025 Pay Gap report allows us to see how the initiatives outlined in the 2024 report are beginning to create impact. In some cases, this has resulted in notable shrinking or elimination of pay and bonus gaps. In other areas, changes to the workforce have resulted in fluctuations in the gaps which will take time to even out.

In all cases, the data is invaluable as we track our longer-term progress. Pay gap reporting continues to be an important mechanism in maintaining transparency and accountability, which in turn allows us to build a more inclusive, representative and equitable organisation.

We invite you to read our Pay Gap report for 2025, which we hope will be of interest.
