Commit to diversity and gender equality
For more than 15 years, BNP Paribas has actively promoted gender equality as a leading employer and economic player.
Our CEO, Jean-Laurent Bonnafé, was for 3 years “thematic champion” of the UN Women’s HeForShe movement.
We also support strongly committed actors such as the association promoting gender equality #JamaisSansElles.
Diversity is not an empty word for us. We took strong commitments in this area as well as very concrete actions to ensure that everyone feels fully integrated and in their place.
Get involved in an internal network to change things
Many internal employee networks are in place to empower you to act and challenge the status quo. A few examples:
- BNP Paribas PRIDE, which is very active in favour of the LGBTQ2S+ cause;
- BNP Paribas MixCity, which 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, which promotes diversity of origins.
Will you soon be joining the 30,000 employees who are members of one of our many internal networks?
