Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging

Our commitment

Body (Limited)

We believe that diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging (DEIB) is critical to our growth and success as a leading commercial bank. This commitment starts with Webster's senior leadership team, who work to ensure that our commitment to DEIB is integrated with the way we do business. Meeting the increasingly diverse needs of our clients is a key to our long-term success, and having a workforce with diverse backgrounds and experiences better helps our clients and the communities we serve achieve their financial goals.

Our Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging Council serves as a platform where senior leaders and representatives of our various business resource groups shape the strategy and actions of our DEIB efforts. The Council makes recommendations on ways to integrate DEIB in the areas of education and awareness, talent development, employee engagement, and client and community service.

This diversity of thought enables us to better help our clients and the communities we serve achieve their financial goals."
