Diversity & Inclusion
Creating opportunities for everyone
Our purpose, “to bring the age of opportunity to everyone,” exists to promote diversity and inclusion across all of our stakeholder groups, starting with our focus on diversity in the workplace. As a global company, our people are our greatest asset. We intentionally foster a workplace that prioritizes inclusion so our people can bring their whole selves to work every day. At BBVA, we value the diversity of our employees, customers, vendors and communities because we know that differences in cultures, backgrounds and viewpoints drive innovation.

We put a premium on being diverse and inclusive in every corner of our business because it creates unparalleled innovation. It anchors our ‘one team‘ spirit and allows us to attract the most creative thinkers, the most innovative suppliers, and gives us a competitive advantage in today’s age of opportunity.
—BBVA USA CEO Javier Rodríguez Soler
