Bosses at one of the world's biggest investment firms will need to get special approval to hire white men as part of a new diversity drive.
State Street Global Advisors aims to triple the number of black, Asian and other minority staff in senior roles by 2023 as part of a drive to improve diversity within its middle and senior management.
Failure to meet the target will result in a drop in executives' bonuses, reports The Times.
State Street, which has 30 offices worldwide, including Canary Wharf in London, currently employs 39,400 people.
Jess McNicholas, the bank’s head of inclusion, diversity and corporate citizenship in London, said: 'This is now front and central for State Street — it’s on every senior executive’s scorecard.
'All of our leaders have to demonstrate at their annual appraisals what they have done to improve female representation and the number of colleagues from ethnic-minority backgrounds.'
Recruiters must now create a panel of four or five people that includes a woman and someone of an ethnic-minority background when hiring middle management staff - employees at vice-president and above.
Ms McNicholas added that State Street will still hire white men, but recruiters will now need to show that women and ethnic minority candidates have been interviewed by the diverse panels.
The new drive will also see the investment firm increase spending with diverse suppliers over the next three years..
It has pledged to 'hold ourselves accountable for strengthening black and Latinx owned businesses'.

If that’s not a lawsuit waiting to happen then I don’t know what is.
Yes, I want a black who graduated from an Oregon high school (which said you don’t need math to graduate high school) to be my financial advisor. I’m not a racist, but come on...
I know for a fact that this kind of order is in effect, but officially denied, in several government institutions.
This is a violation of Public Law 88-352 aka the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
I do believe that is contrary to existing civil rights laws as well as the Constitution.
Pull ALL of your investments out of State Street NOW!
Molotovs. Lots and lots of molotovs.
Thanks, State Street, for warning me not to let you have any of my money. Just like a rattlesnake rattling, I will heed your warning.
Well, this explains why advertisements are populated by black people, almost exclusively! On TV, Magazines, store flyers, all predominately black, with mixed race and gay couples also thrown in the mix. The BLM and LGBTQ must have threatened the ad agencies.
Yeah I want my funds ran my minorities, mostly given diplomas and still can’t read. Then who will invest with them? Black people? Hispanics? Have fun with that. DUMP STATE STREET ASAP,
