Showcase—“Believe in Diversity and Act Accordingly” Diversity, Inclusion, and Social Dialogue at BNP Paribas

Abstract

In this showcase, we aim to describe and analyze the diversity and inclusion (D&I) actions being taken at BNP Paribas Fortis and the impact that social dialogue has in the development, implementation, and monitoring progress in a large company. We link these actions with the circle of inclusion developed by Arenas et al., Chap. 1 in this volume. We start by describing the story of BNP Paribas Fortis in Belgium as an illustration of how social dialogue might promote inclusion and combat discrimination. In that, we enter the specific D&I actions. We finalize the chapter with lessons learned from this case to improve diversity and inclusion.
