CEO Action for Diversity & Inclusion pledge

In 2020, we signed PwC’s CEO Action for Diversity & Inclusion pledge to advance diversity and inclusion in the workplace. We also joined the Business Coalition for the Equality Act to ensure equal rights for all.

Diversity in Leadership

Our Board of Directors is 45% racially, ethnically, or gender diverse. Of our 14-member Executive Leadership Team, two are women and two are African American. We also have committed to ongoing pay equity reviews and increasing diversity in senior leadership roles from almost 12% to 15% in three years.

We are Truist. Founded as a purpose driven company, we are changing the financial services industry. We believe change starts on the inside, by radically caring for each other and bringing a human touch to everything we do, from designers to technologists, financial experts to relationship managers. We are re-imagining how a bank looks, feels, and acts. We push beyond the expected, re-thinking every part of the client experience. We remove barriers, boldly re-defining what a work environment can be.
