Be you

It’s true, we want you to be you.

Diversity, equity and inclusion is embedded in all that we do. Read more below and in our 2022 Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) Report: The Road to Equity.

Diversity and Inclusion - Putting people at the center

We look for a variety of voices and experiences to continue on the path of growth we’ve been on for the last 200 years. We cannot fulfill our
promise to help people prosper unless we are unwavering in our commitment to maintaining a diverse and inclusive workforce.

Diversity and inclusion are foundational to our business strategy. It stems from a fundamental belief when Eastern was founded: to provide banking services to everyone, not just the affluent few.

We know that diversity and inclusion are not just a trend, or a nice thing to say or do.  For us, these values are the cornerstone of our foundation on which our business is built.  It’s the smart and right thing to do.

 

Our Diversity Strategy is robust and has six elements.

Our goal is to build and sustain Diversity & Inclusion (D&I) as a critical aspect of our work and work environment which makes us a better employer, a better provider of services to our customers, and a better member of our communities.
