Diversity and inclusion

All of us together "We want to make sure that everyone feels a sense of belonging. Prioritizing inclusion contributes to our success by helping our colleagues focus their talents on business challenges, not on overcoming disadvantage."

Striving for equity

Taking action

Committed to change

Diversity

We are committed to building alliances and to sustaining an ecosystem where diversity is our reality. Respecting and appreciating what makes each of us unique is our strength.

Equity

We are working to deliver access and opportunity. With the help of our Executive Board and leaders across the bank, we want Credit Suisse to be a place where we can all taste success.

Inclusion

We know people produce their best work when they are valued, are treated fairly, and can be themselves without covering to fit in. This is inclusion, and we believe it strengthens our ability to better serve our clients.

Belonging

We all experience the world and challenges differently – so do our clients. We are working to ensure our people feel welcome, seen, heard, and valued, just as they are. That sense of belonging fuels our creativity and innovation.
