At the ECB, we believe diversity creates excellence – more diverse teams mean a wider range of opinions, leading to better and more robust results. It is essential that we connect with the best talent so that we can take the best possible decisions for the good of all citizens of the euro area, and our diversity is central to this. We aspire to be an organisation in which diversity is welcomed and appreciated in all its facets for the richness that it offers. Enabling diversity is vital to our institution in order to deliver the best possible outcome for our staff and for Europe. The facets of diversity include – but are not limited to – age, disability, ethnicity, gender, gender identity, race, religion, sexual orientation and other characteristics.

Here are some of the initiatives we undertake to support the development of greater diversity and inclusion in our institution: marking days by celebrating a variety of facets, including the International Day of People with Disabilities, International Day of Commemoration in memory of the victims of the Holocaust, International Women’s Day and the International Day against Homophobia, Biphobia, Interphobia and Transphobia (IDAHOBIT); having regular Inspiring Leaders talks (including speeches from World Bank Senior Vice President Sandie Okoro and Central Bank of Ireland Deputy Governor Ed Sibley); participating in Frankfurt’s Christopher Street Day (Pride) parade; making breast-feeding facilities available in all ECB premises; instituting gender targets to increase our share of women at the ECB; pilot on traineeships restricted to candidates on the autism spectrum
