EIB Diversity Strategy

The European Investment Bank's Diversity Strategy positions the Bank as an employer of choice, able to tap diverse external talent pools and fully utilise and develop the rich talent base formed by its existing staff. The Diversity Strategy is critical to assure the Bank's success.

The concept of diversity embraces a wide range of individual and cultural characteristics, such as age, cultural, ethnic and racial background, education and experience, family status, gender, nationality, physical ability, religion and sexual orientation.

Inclusion means respecting and valuing the unique talents, perspectives and contribution each employee brings to the organisation. It implies recognising that employees are at their creative and productive best when they work in an atmosphere of respect and trust.
