PRS for Music publishes 2025 Gender and Ethnicity Pay Gap Report
This year marks the fifth year that we have published our ethnicity pay gap results, alongside reporting our gender pay gap results, which is now in its ninth year. We do so to foster transparency and build confidence in our commitment towards achieving gender and racial parity.

Andrea Czapary Martin, CEO, PRS for Music: “I am proud of the progress we have made in narrowing the gender pay gap but fully recognise the need to address the challenges that the data reveals, not least of which is the ethnicity pay gap. By sharing these results I and the Executive Leadership Team hold ourselves accountable to building a workplace that reflects fairness at every level and where everyone has the opportunity to thrive regardless of their gender or race.”
Suzanne Hughes, Chief People and Transformation Officer, PRS for Music: “Pay equity remains one of the most important measures of our commitment to fairness and inclusion at PRS. This year’s report presents a mixed picture – we have made meaningful progress in some areas while recognising we’ve lost ground in others. Achieving pay equity is not a linear journey – it needs constant attention to build momentum and course correct when impact of our interventions is slower than planned. We will be resilient in refreshing our plans this year to respond to these latest figures.”
