DIVERSITY, EQUITY & INCLUSION

Powered by diversity. Fueled by inclusion.

Diverse perspectives at our core

We actively seek diversity in points of view, experiences and people, investing in a way that is diverse by design. We also know that nurturing a culture of belonging that invites and celebrates difference contributes to better outcomes and a community of associates working together in service of our mission.


Cristina Santos, Senior Vice President, Head of Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Engagement, talks about the energy, innovation and “music” of diversity, equity and inclusion.

Our beliefs

We have a deeply principled approach to diversity, equity and inclusion centered around a core set of beliefs: 

  • Diverse teams generate diverse perspectives. 
  • Every associate deserves the opportunity to flourish. 
  • A strong sense of belonging empowers us all to be our best.

Diverse teams

We want to best reflect the global talent pool, within teams, at all levels. Fair and consistent hiring and promotion processes help us find and welcome in exceptional talent.

Opportunity

All associates deserve the chance to grow and build a rewarding career at Capital. We invest in associates through upskilling, coaching and mentoring, and personalized development plans and goals.

Belonging

Every associate around the world should feel seen, heard and valued so they can thrive. Strong onboarding, supporting our Capital Communities and listening at moments that matter are a few ways we prioritize inclusion.
