Grauer, Chairman of Bloomberg and Founding Chairman of the U.S. 30% Club. “BNY Mellon’s GEI inclusion is a strong indicator to its employees, investors and industry peers alike that it is leading by example to advance ongoing efforts for a truly inclusive workplace.”

“Diversity and inclusion is a strategic priority at BNY Mellon, which is reflected in our policies, programs and practices,” said Yau Cheng, Global Head of Diversity and Inclusion. “We are honored to be recognized by Bloomberg for the fourth year in a row for our commitment to supporting gender equality at the firm. Our dedication can be seen at the highest level of company leadership. This year our CEO, Charlie Scharf, has also joined Mr. Grauer in the U.S. 30% club.”
