Diversity, Equity & Inclusion
OPPORTUNITY FOR EVERYONE
At BNP Paribas, we passionately embrace diversity and are committed to fostering an inclusive workplace where all employees are valued, respected and can bring their authentic selves to work. We prohibit discrimination and harassment of any kind and our policies promote equal employment opportunity for all employees and applicants, irrespective of, but not limited to their gender, gender identity, sex, sexual orientation, ethnicity, race, colour, national origin, age, religion, social status, mental or physical disabilities. As a global bank, we believe that inclusion and diversity of our teams is key to our success in serving our clients and the communities in which we operate.
In Asia Pacific, BNP Paribas has created the Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Council (DE&I), responsible for the strategic direction of DE&I initiatives. Chaired by the APAC Chief Executive Officer and APAC Head of Human Resources, and with the help of our employee volunteers, the Council has taken important steps in its commitment to promote and maintain a diverse workplace, inclusive and welcoming for all.

- BNP Paribas MixCity fosters better representation of women at all levels of the company;
- Ability, the mutual aid network for employees with a disability or a disabling or chronic illness;
- The very new CulturAll movement, promotes diversity of origins.
More than 30,000 employees are members of one of our many global internal networks.
