Executive Leadership Council

Moody’s launched a 5-year, $1 million scholarship program in partnership with ELC to support the development of Black talent and executives

Diversity, equity and inclusion are in Moody’s DNA. We are firmly committed to providing a supportive workplace where all employees can thrive as their authentic selves.

OUR DIVERSITY, EQUITY & INCLUSION (DE&I) PLEDGE

We believe a workforce that represents an array of backgrounds and experiences helps create an environment that maximizes every employee’s contribution, widens the leadership pipeline, and enhances our work, including the quality of our opinions, products and services. With over 14,000 employees in more than 40 countries, we aspire to be a place where everyone feels comfortable being their true selves, where we demonstrate empathy and civility – and where we celebrate the differences that make us stronger.

The breadth of programs and policies we have established in support of our diverse colleagues – people of color, women, LGBTQ+, Latinx and disabled employees and others – is a tremendous source of pride for Moody’s. Much of this work is championed by our Business Resource Groups (BRGs) and embodies our core values of a principled, inclusive and collaborative culture.

OUR ANTI-RACISM PleDGE

At Moody’s, our purpose is to bring clarity, knowledge and fairness to an interconnected world. Remaining true to our values means standing unequivocally with the Black community against racism and inequality. Moody’s has announced a commitment of $1 million over the next five years to promote equal justice and advancement of the Black community. Through our Diversity, Equity & Inclusion team and our employee-led Black Inclusion Group, Moody’s will identify additional opportunities and ways to support racial justice organizations and initiatives, including pro bono and employee activities.

#StopAsianHate

We at Moody's are shocked and saddened by news of violence against Asian Americans. Sadly, this follows recent hate crimes against members of the Asian and Pacific Islander communities in the United States and around the world. Hate, bigotry and violence cannot be tolerated, particularly in a time that demands unity and healing. Together with our employees, we will continue our efforts to combat xenophobia and advance racial equity and inclusion in the communities in which we live and work.

OUR DIVERSITY STRATEGY

Our diversity strategy focuses on hiring diverse candidates and elevating non-traditional employees to leadership positions, with a focus on empowering women leaders on a global scale and increasing the racial and ethnic makeup of our employees and leaders in the United States.

We take a holistic approach to this work by implementing comprehensive education programs, such as diversity trainings, as well as specialized programs for historically marginalized groups, including Business Resource Groups (BRGs). We also encourage Courageous Conversations and institute DE&I accountability measures to help move us from awareness to impact.

We acknowledge the opportunity for the financial services industry to do more in promoting a diverse and inclusive workplace, and we recognize the responsibility we have to our employees, customers, stakeholders, and society to advance our diversity strategy.

Diversity, equity and inclusion is in our corporate DNA.

Our global diversity operating model focuses on elevating DE&I in the workforce, workplace, and the community.

Workforce

Through our Business Resource Groups (BRGs) and Diversity Council, we ensure the interests and values of our employees are represented. Our BRGs are overseen by executive sponsors and comprised of regional chapters and advisory committees. Our Diversity Council is siloed into an executive council, comprising of senior leadership; regional councils, representing employees in the Americas, EMEA and APAC; and advisory committees.

VIEW PROGRAMS

Workplace

To ensure an inclusive workplace from both an employee and operational perspective, we invest in diversity trainings and a supplier diversity program. Our diversity trainings are required for all employees globally, with specialized trainings on inclusive leadership and talent. Our supplier diversity program commits Moody’s to using minority, women-, disabled, veteran and LGBTQ+-owned businesses, which have historically been underutilized in the supply chain.

VIEW PARTNERSHIPS

Community

Through our Community Impact programs and partnerships, we are committed to empowering people with financial knowledge, activating an environmentally sustainable future, and helping young people reach their potential. This includes donations from the Moody’s Foundation to our non-profit partners, as well as employee volunteering programs and pro bono activities to help the communities where we live and work.
