Bloomberg’s Valuable 500 Commitment:
Bloomberg values difference, promotes inclusion, and encourages collaboration to drive business results. Since becoming one of the earliest Valuable 500 signatories in 2019, we’ve encouraged other companies worldwide to join us in the disability inclusion conversation – through both the Valuable Leader Conversations and the Bloomberg Equality Summit.
As a company built on innovation, we continue our commitment to making our workplaces and products more accessible to people with disabilities, as well as promoting a culture where every employee is accepted and empowered to bring their authentic self to work.
We continue taking action to make our recruitment processes more inclusive globally, delivering the best candidate experience for prospective employees with disabilities and revising all job descriptions and communications with prospective candidates to use language that is more inclusive.
This commitment to action will translate into our policies and processes, thereby improving governance, accountability, and coordination across the company for the benefit of both colleagues and clients.
