Celebrating Diversity: BNP Paribas Switzerland Re-Certified with the Swiss LGBTI-Label

As the world around us changes, one thing remains constant: our commitment to fostering a workplace built on inclusivity, respect, and integrity.

On June 12th BNP Paribas in Switzerland received for the second consecutive year the Swiss LGBTI-Label, reflecting our strong commitment to Diversity and Inclusion (D&I) within our corporate culture. The certification ceremony took place at Bayer’s premises in Basel, attended by Thomas Conel, Head of Human Resources and Nicolas Bruyninckx, Lead ambassador of the BNP Paribas Pride Switzerland LGBTI Network. 

What is the Swiss LGBTI-Label? 

The Swiss LGBTI-Label is a prestigious recognition awarded to organizations in Switzerland that implement and foster a diverse and inclusive work environment. 

Obtaining the Swiss LGBTI-Label requires an independent assessment of the company on multiple fronts such as the D&I strategy, the organization around it, communication, and human resources management. 

Diversity is not about ticking boxes; it is about creating an environment where every individual, including those in the LGBTQI+ community, feels seen, heard, and valued for who they truly are.

As both a Swiss and global bank, renewing this label marks a significant milestone. It demonstrates BNP Paribas in Switzerland’s ongoing commitment to providing an inclusive workplace where everyone feels respected, valued, and heard, regardless of their sexual orientation, gender identity, or any other aspect of their identity.

This recognition is also a testament to our corporate values outlined in our Code of Conduct, which celebrates equality, respect, inclusion, and making BNP Paribas a Good Place To Work.
