Diversitate, incluziune și apartenență

Age and generations

Age diversity is something we value and are proud of. We understand that everyone's unique experiences, shaped by when and where they were born, contribute to a rich diversity of perspectives, skills, and working styles, which we wholeheartedly embrace. 
 
Bringing together different generations strengthens our work by sharing experiences, generating new energy, and sparking ideas. This builds a strong talent pipeline and future-proofs our business. We’re creating positive connectivity for all ages across ING. We have 14 age & generation employee resource groups (ERGs) around the world. 

Disability and neurodiversity

We launched our global disability and neuro-inclusion strategy to create a culture and environment where people with disabilities, neurodiverse conditions, and those who care for them feel they belong and can reach their full potential at ING. Activated across all the countries in which we operate, this strategy strengthens our commitment to true inclusion 

 
We aim to break down the barriers people face and provide with the supportive environment needed to thrive. Our work focuses on the following areas: Leadership and Culture, Talent, Accessibility and Data and Reporting. In the future, and as we learn more about our people, we will responsibly gather and leverage data to inform and adapt our approach. We have 8 disability and neurodiversity ERGs across ING.

Gender

Gender equity is just as important now as it has ever been. We recognise our responsibility as an employer of providing equitable opportunities for women from recruitment through to development and progression. We currently have approximately 63,000 people globally at ING and the gender composition of our global workforce is 47% women and 53% men. We have 20 ERGs across ING dedicated to cultivating a gender-balanced workplace. 

LGBTQI+

While there is no doubt the world has come a long way since the Stonewall Uprising in 1969, there is still a lot to do to ensure the safety and inclusion of people from the LGBTQI+ community, both in the workplace and in wider society. At ING we take this seriously. We say ‘no’ to a world where people have to hide their true selves. We want everyone to feel heard, be seen and receive support when they need it. This also means creating an environment and culture that is free of assumptions, judgement and discrimination. 
 
Each year we proudly take part in Pride events around the world. Since 2023, we have taken important steps towards greater inclusion for transgender individuals. We are proud to have introduced transgender inclusion guidelines in several countries, which aim to enhance awareness and understanding within the bank, and to provide meaningful support to individuals navigating their transition journey. 
 
We are dedicated to having an LGBTQI+ inclusive culture and our Rainbow Lions ERGs play an important role in shaping this. We have 15 LGBTQI+ ERGs around the world. 

Multiculturalism

In an increasingly connected world, many of us have experiences and backgrounds that span countries and cultures. We recognise that identities can be deeply personal and change over time. 
 
This is why we want to create an open, safe and caring environment and culture. We want people to feel comfortable being themselves and to continue to evolve and grow to reach their full potential, both personally and professionally. 
 
We have 5 established culture ERGs at ING that bring people from all backgrounds together. 

Race and ethnicity

Our aim is to reflect the demographics of our customers and the communities we operate in. In doing so, we strive to build and maintain a diverse culture which supports and attracts people from all racial and ethnic backgrounds.  
 
We have 3 race and ethnicity ERGs that are contributing to the work we are doing by fostering inclusivity, supporting professional development, and driving innovation through diverse perspectives.
