Our President, José María Roldán, highlighted this week the profound social transformation that the banking sector has undergone in recent years, in line with the changes developing in society, and advocated for diversity and inclusion as elements that enrich organizations and their performance.
In his speech at the event on the future of the financial sector organized by REDI, the Business Network for LGTBI Diversity and Inclusion, Roldán stated that, “just as risk diversification prevents problems and losses, diversity minimizes risks and errors,” which always benefits the companies that promote it.
Diversity, he indicated, is like a plant that needs care and vigilance to prevent its deterioration. “For the future, my wish is that this plant will not require special care, but just a little water to keep growing,” he said in his address at the event organized in collaboration with BBVA.
In his opinion, a company, especially a service company, must reflect the way of being and communicating of the society it serves. It “must also strive to attract the best talent and seek it wherever it may be. It is a mistake to hinder that search.”
In this regard, he explained that the Spanish Banking Association understands diversity within a humanistic approach to business “as the respect all people deserve, a fundamental value in society and in business.”
