EBRD
About EBRD
We build sustainable and open market economies wherever we work.
In 2021 we became a ‘majority green’ Bank for the first time, with more than half our business volume invested in climate finance.
We also promote equality of opportunity through access to skills and employment, finance and entrepreneurship for women and young people.
And we help unleash the power of digital technology to bring about change for the better.
We continue to do all this through our tried and tested business model of investment and technical advice, mainly for the private sector, and help with policy reform.
Working at EBRD
The EBRD is a unique international financial institution supporting projects across three continents. Investing primarily in private sector clients whose needs cannot be fully met by the market, we promote entrepreneurship and foster transition towards open and sustainable market economies.
We look to recruit people passionate about our values and work. Whether you are a banker, analyst, economist, IT specialist or researcher, there are a number of opportunities to support the EBRD in its operations from client relations to communications.
If you are a national of one of our shareholders or countries where we work, you are eligible to apply. Our employees come from a diverse range of educational and professional backgrounds and speak a number of languages, all helping to create a diversified, passionate, forward-thinking workforce.
At the EBRD we seek to ensure that everyone is treated with respect and is given equal opportunities.
Diversity, Equity & Inclusion at EBRD
Recognising and valuing difference is at the heart of everything we do.
The Bank is strongly committed to principles of diversity and inclusion, both as core values that are integral to the Bank’s ability to serve its clients, shareholders and other counterparties and also from the perspective of providing a supportive, nurturing and enriching workplace for Bank staff. The Bank as a workplace is characterised by its richness of nationalities, cultures, backgrounds and opinions and the Bank aims to sustain and build on the strength that this diversity brings.
Further to this, the Bank strives to build an inclusive culture where every individual is treated with respect and dignity, where the contributions of every individual are recognised and valued and where access to equality of opportunity is provided to all. Intrinsic to this is the recognition that the Bank is made stronger by the different perspectives of each Bank Personnel and their different personal characteristics, including age, disability, nationality, race, ethnicity, religion or belief, gender, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, marital/civil status, parental status, and educational or socio-economic background.
Our diversity and inclusion agenda is led from the very top, with our Executive Committee and senior leadership championing and promoting equality and reviewing progress regularly.
We have a number of proactive employee networks, including African-Caribbean, Asian, disAbility, EBRDconnect, EBRD Family, Spectrum (LGBT+) and Young Professionals. Working hand in hand with our Diversity and Inclusion Steering Group, these networks promote and increase awareness of all aspects of diversity and inclusion and shape an exciting calendar of events across our countries of operations.
