Diversity & Inclusion
Diverse and inclusive by nature and by commitment
At Euronext, we see all forms of diversity as a key success factor of our federal model. We believe that successful current and future leaders are those who are not just able to lead high-performing teams and projects effectively, but also to engage diverse teams and empower them with a focus on openness, inclusion, trust and cooperation.
Diversity has been embraced in every area of Euronext’s people agenda.
Diversity at Euronext includes gender, ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation, age, language, socioeconomic status, physical ability, experience and education.
Euronext values diversity in all its forms and aspects. We strive to promote an inclusive culture, while respecting a zero-tolerance policy for any form of discrimination.
Signatory of the United Nations Women’s Empowerment Principles
With the signing of the Women’s Empowerment Principles in March 2023, Euronext reaffirmed its focus on building a sustainable, innovative and productive future.
These principles are the result of a collaboration between the UN Global Compact and UN Women. By signing them, Euronext is committing to the corporate delivery on gender equality dimensions of the 2030 agenda and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, while working collaboratively in multi-stakeholder networks to foster business practices that empower women.
Fostering an inclusive culture
When you join us, you become part of a dynamic environment where diverse cultures and backgrounds come together to innovate and propel Euronext forward.
Here are some examples of D&I initiatives:
- establishing local Women’s Networks in various Euronext locations, to enhance equal career opportunities for everybody,
- establishing the cross-location Euronext D&I network, composed of 24 volunteers, from each Euronext location,
- establishment of local partnerships with associations,
- celebration of International Women’s Day and Pride.
