Global Citizenship Report 2017

Bringing Our Affinities to Life Our Affinity model, built on the foundation of our global grassroots Employee Network program that has existed for many years, is our approach to disseminating the company’s diversity priorities and goals. The work of our senior leaders to bring our Affinities to life across Citi has been an important signal to our employees worldwide. Members of our CEO’s leadership team, along with other senior leaders across the company, co-chair each of our Affinities to help provide accountability for increasing diversity at Citi. The Affinity leaders act as public champions for the priorities and needs of that demographic, both within the company and externally. Our 10 Affinities — Asian Heritage, Black Heritage, Citi Women, disABILITY, Generations, Hispanic/Latino Heritage, Citi Salutes, Multicultural, Parents, and Pride — each represent different demographics and are designed to ensure that we understand, appreciate and leverage the uniqueness of our entire employee base. In 2017, we identified senior leaders and developed priorities for five of these Affinities and plan to do the same for the remaining five Affinities in 2018. Employee Network Chapters Employee Network chapters serve as local branches of our Affinities and are an important part of the implementation of our diversity strategy. These grassroots organizations are initiated and led by employees and offer professional devel- opment, mentoring, networking and community engagement opportunities to members and colleagues. Consistent with our inclusive culture, Employee Network chapters are open to all Citi employees, whether or not they identify with a particular affinity. In 2017, we exceeded 150 Employee Network chapters globally, and anticipate more growth in the number of chapters as employee interest continues to increase. AFFINITIES IN ACTION Our Affinities are an important part of our approach to diversity and, through our new model led by senior leaders, we had some notable accomplishments in 2017: Citi Women supported International Women’s Day with over 238 events in 75 countries. Black Heritage formed five new Employee Network chapters in the U.S., helping us reach 150 chapters across all Affinities. Citi Women and Black Heritage rolled out a new initiative through which Citi senior leaders are mentored by diverse colleagues, to foster open dialogue and build understand- ing among executives of diverse employees’ experiences in the workplace. Pride was active in public advocacy efforts by the company, including signing the Masterpiece Cakeshop v. Colorado Civil Rights Commission amicus brief in support of LGBTQ equality in a Supreme Court case involving freedom of religion and LGBTQ rights. Citi employees at the Hong Kong Pride Parade Across Affinities, we piloted a mentoring program in which managing directors and directors mentor high-performing female and U.S. minority senior vice presidents and vice presidents over a four-month period, to facilitate person- alized learning and development.
