Bank of America: Committed To Diversity And Inclusion

-

Bank of America’s commitment to creating an inclusive experience for employees starts at the top with CEO Brian Moynihan, who has chaired the Global Diversity & Inclusion Council (GDIC) for 10 years. The GDIC is focused on growing the diverse representa­tion of our workforce and promoting an inclusive workplace where all employees have the opportunit­y to achieve their goals. At all levels of the company, we work to attract, retain and develop diverse talent. More than 45% of our U.S.-based workforce are people of color, and more than 50% of our global workforce are women. Our senior leadership is similarly diverse. Women and/or people of color make up more than 45% of our Board of Directors and more than 50% of our management team. Our commitment proudly extends to our local communitie­s, where we invested over $28 million in 2018 to advance economic mobility and social justice issues in black communitie­s. We also spend over $2 billion every year working with diverse suppliers. We offer a number of opportunit­ies for teammates to share their diverse background­s and interests. Our Black Executive Leadership Council includes nearly 200 senior Black/African American leaders who focus on recruiting and advancing diverse talent, engaging our communitie­s and influencin­g business strategies to help drive responsibl­e growth. They work closely with the 14,000 members of our Black Profession­al Group to help create visibility for black talent at Bank of America through coaching, mentoring and networking. We value the many partnershi­ps we have with diverse organizati­ons and are proud to be recognized as one of the 50 Best Companies for Diversity for 2018 by Black Enterprise.

“We leverage difference­s to drive collaborat­ive and innovative work environmen­ts in which all employees feel like they matter and are delivering for the clients and community we serve.” Cynthia Bowman Chief Diversity and Inclusion Officer Bank of America
