At Regions, we recognize diversity and inclusion are essential for achieving and maintaining a competitive advantage, and our commitment is reinforced through our ongoing efforts to reflect, anticipate and adapt to the changing demographics of the communities where we live and work. These efforts are supported by our senior leaders, managers, and associates. We have a cross-functional network of Regions associates at all levels who work together to advance the company’s comprehensive diversity and inclusion strategy. In addition, the Regions Diversity Advisory Council, composed of various academic, community, and business leaders, offers an outside perspective on diversity and inclusion matters in the workplace and marketplace. Our strategic approach to diversity and inclusion – inside and outside of Regions -- not only is good business, but it is also the right thing to do for our customers, communities, associates and shareholders.
