Fidelity Bank's

Inclusion & Diversity Council​

If you value the differences in people, the differences will create value.

Since 2008, this message, prominently displayed in our boardroom, inspires us to continuously work to build a dynamic and vibrant culture where our differences are celebrated, inclusion and equity are valued, and all are welcomed, seen and heard.​

It’s not just what we do.
It is who we are.

Because this commitment is so ingrained in our culture, it led to the creation of the Inclusion and Diversity Advisory Board and Council.

The Advisory Board provides guidance and leadership for our Inclusion & Diversity Council, comprised of passionate Fidelity Bank colleagues who wish to channel their passion for diversity and inclusion into strategies and programs which support the Bank’s commitment to these efforts.

Responsible for building and sharing knowledge, the Inclusion and Diversity Advisory Board provides a wide range of educational content, programs, activities, celebrations and best practices including:

  • Programs to increase our colleagues’ awareness of the value diversity brings to our workplace and the broader world
  • Roundtable discussions where colleagues are comfortable sharing their unique perspectives and experiences
  • Learning events for both managers and colleagues that promote a culture of inclusivity

Our Mission

Our mission statement declares our commitment to being a caring corporate citizen, cultivating and sustaining a culture that celebrates our differences and promotes inclusion and equality.

We embrace and respect our employees’ differences in age, race, ethnicity, disability, gender identity, national origin, religion, sexual orientation and veteran status, and we strongly and vocally oppose racism and social injustice in any form.

Our practices and policies, from recruitment and hiring, compensation, and professional development, through vendor and partnership selection, reflect our uncompromising commitment to ensuring equity for all.

Entrepreneurship for All​

Our commitment to inclusion and diversity extends to the business community as well. That’s why we partner with Entrepreneurship for All, to engage businesses owned by people of color, women, immigrants, and those who were previously unemployed. With this partnership, we pledge to provide new business opportunities and ongoing support to a diverse group of entrepreneurs.
