Kelly King on the BB&T Commitment to
Diversity and Inclusion

BB&T is committed to doing business in a way that clearly demonstrates to all of our stakeholders that we respect and value the relationship they have chosen to have with us. 

We understand that a critical factor in the continued success of these relationships and ultimately our business is a true commitment to diversity and inclusion.

It is a business imperative that the diversity of our workforce and our board of directors reflects the demographics of our clients, communities, and shareholders. BB&T has an enduring commitment to a diverse and inclusive environment that starts at the top of our organization and impacts the decisions we make each day.

Our commitment to diversity and inclusion:

• Helps us create innovative products and provide superior client service
• Strengthens our ability to attract and retain associates with different backgrounds, experiences, ideas, and skills and advance their careers
• Supports the economic growth of our communities through outreach efforts
• Fosters strong partnerships with diverse suppliers and business owners
• Positively impacts business revenues with increased sales, profits and greater returns for our shareholders

As a company and a culture, BB&T has embraced diversity and inclusion as a compelling growth strategy in our markets, in our boardroom and in the workplace.
