We are pleased to announce that BNP Paribas in Canada has earned a top score on the 2025 Disability Index® and has been recognized as a Best Place to Work for Disability Inclusion.

This recognition is a testament to our ongoing commitment and work in advancing disability inclusion and creating a workplace where all employees— regardless of their visible or invisible abilities— can feel heard, valued, safe and supported, and can be their authentic selves. This top score reaffirms our longstanding belief that inclusiveness and belonging are key for our continued success.

The Disability Index is the world’s leading third-party benchmarking tool for evaluating corporate disability inclusion and is used by hundreds of companies globally, including over 70% of the Fortune 100 and nearly half of the Fortune 500.

The Disability Index measures performance across six key areas, including Culture & Leadership, Enterprise-Wide Access, Employment Practices, Community Engagement, Supplier Inclusion, and Responsible Procurement.

“Building a truly inclusive workplace means fostering a culture where all employees— across all their intersecting identities— can thrive, including those with disabilities,” said Laetitia Fouquet Pimpin, Head of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion for BNP Paribas in Canada. “This top score is the result of continuous efforts and not a destination. It is a reminder that we must continuously work to dismantle barriers, strengthen education and awareness, and cultivate a culture that embraces all differences. And we’re committed to doing it together.”

BNP Paribas in Canada understands that there is always room to advance disability accessibility, and this top score indicates adherence to many leading disability inclusion practices that the Bank is committed to developing and enhancing for all— continuously striving to build a workplace where everyone belongs.

This top score is in addition to the numerous other notable recognitions that the Bank has received this year including one of Montreal’s Top Employers for the fourth consecutive year, one of Canada’s Best Diversity Employers for the third consecutive year, as well as the prestigious platinum-level parity certification by Women in Governance— the highest level awarded to organizations— for the second consecutive year.
