Inclusion at Northern Trust
Inclusion Ignites Outcomes & Impact
Our commitment to inclusion is fundamental to our brand and business. It's the everyday expression of how we work together, deliver long-term value to our clients, engage with our communities and position our company for enduring success.
Centered on Our People
Northern Trust's culture is a powerful influence on how we perform as an organization and unites us across businesses, geographies and functions. We’re committed to creating an inclusive workplace that empowers our employees to grow and succeed through contribution and advancement.
Our employees are committed to demonstrating our five culture behaviors to help advance our strategy, uphold our values and achieve our goals. Vital to the strength of our company, being Intentionally Inclusive is one of those essential behaviors: We consciously welcome and value the experiences, perspectives and viewpoints of all employees, enabling opportunities to listen, collaborate and learn from each other.
- Intentionally Inclusive
- Always Accountable
- Constantly Managing Risk
- Relentlessly Client-Centric
- Respectfully Candid
BRCs are employee-led, company-supported groups that provide employees with opportunities to network, develop as professionals, engage with and learn from senior leaders and other stakeholders. Northern Trust currently sponsors fourteen BRCs that are open to all employees to join, as listed here.
Extended Through our Supply Chain
Our broad network of suppliers operate as extensions of our team, enhancing our capabilities and supplementing the skills and perspectives within our organization. Strong, collaborative supplier relationships are mutually beneficial and essential to achieving long-term value for our clients and stakeholders.
Enriching our Communities
Our dedication to inclusion extends beyond our organization. Since our founding, Northern Trust has demonstrated a commitment to caring for the communities where we operate, live and work. Our long-term community investment strategy strives to create better financial futures through robust programs designed to make meaningful and sustainable positive impact.
Our “Impact First” investment strategy focuses on innovation and provides flexible, low-cost capital that allows projects to grow and succeed without the pressure of immediate returns.
We focus our resources, capabilities and business expertise on enhancing access to housing, education, health care and food to enrich our communities.
We empower our employees to connect more deeply with our communities by providing each employee with two paid days annually to volunteer their time and talent.
Realized with our Clients
With diverse perspectives, skill sets and experience embedded in our workforce and extended through our supply chain, we strengthen our client service and capabilities. We believe inclusion is a catalyst for innovation and collaboration, enabling us to effectively understand and meet our clients’ unique needs with tailored solutions to drive long-term value.
