Gender Equality Employer Statement

At Coal LSL, we recognise that gender equality is key to building a diverse and inclusive workplace.

An important aspect of achieving workplace gender equality, and one that is reported to the Workplace Gender Equality Agency (WGEA) is gender pay gap. Each year, we welcome the WGEA Gender Pay Gap report, which increases transparency and accountability and guides us in creating a fair workplace for all employees.

What is the WGEA pay gap?

The WGEA gender pay gap shows the difference between the average and median pay of women and men across organisations, industries and the workforce.

Understanding our gender pay gap

For the 2025 reporting year (based on 2024 data), our results show an average gender pay gap of 21.6% and a median gap of 29%.

Encouragingly, our ongoing efforts have seen our gender pay gap continue to reduce since 2022, however we recognise we have more work to do to close the gap further.

Our data shows that the main reason for our gender pay gap is workforce composition. Women make up 67% of our workforce, which is higher than our comparison group. However, a large proportion of women are currently in roles within lower pay quartiles which has a corresponding impact on our gender pay gap.

This analysis confirms that our gender pay gap is largely influenced by the distribution of roles across different pay levels, not because of discrepancies in pay for comparable roles.
