Commitment to our Society
Feeling good about the job you do begins with being accepted for who you are. It is our people that make us the bank for a changing world. Our goal is to create an inclusive workplace that mirrors the rich diversity of our society, where individuals feel respected, valued and are empowered to thrive; helping to connect us, our clients and communities to new sustainable opportunities.
At BNP Paribas, our strong commitment to Diversity and Inclusion underpins our long-term business success, enhances our risk management and enables us to deliver better value for our clients, our employees and for wider society. We aim to challenge bias in all its forms and create a workplace culture where all colleagues feel safe, valued, and able to maintain good health and wellbeing.
AT BNP PARIBAS UK WE ARE LOOKING AT DIVERSITY, EQUITY AND INCLUSION THROUGH FOUR PILLARS (GENDER, RACE & ETHNICITY, DISABILITY & MENTAL HEALTH AND LGBTQ+) WITH A STRONG FOCUS ON INTERSECTIONALITY.
