Differences Make a Positive Difference: Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DE&I)
At Fulton Bank, our values define us and our culture inspires us to change lives for the better.
Our Definitions:
DIVERSITY
This relates to any way in which employees may differ from one another. This includes, but is not limited to, the legally protected characteristics — as well as broader individual characteristics — such as perspectives and viewpoints, life experiences, education, skills, cultural background, communication style, and socio-economic background.
EQUITY
This means we’re ensuring our internal systems, policies, and practices are creating opportunities for everyone to perform at their very best each day, and enabling them to receive equitable compensation, be recognized and have opportunities for advancement.
INCLUSION
This is a process to create and maintain an environment where everyone has a sense of belonging and where they are comfortable bringing their true self to work every day. We show appreciation for our unique characteristics so that all can reach their potential and maximize their contribution to the organization.
Our ongoing commitment to question all we do — with the goal of continuous improvement — has propelled us on our DE&I mission, including delivering an Allyship Development Program for all employees.
We host a companywide annual Black History Month Program that features virtual events on history, celebrations, entertainment, leadership, art and guest speakers. During our annual Hispanic Heritage Month Program, we also host virtual events, live cooking demos, Hispanic business leaders, and a lunch with live music.

Equitable Hiring Practices We are transparent with salary ranges during the interview process. Salary offers are based on a candidate’s qualifications, competitive benchmark information and internal pay equity. |
|
|
Equitable Pay Review We comply with applicable federal, state and local equal pay laws and continue to refine our recruiting, hiring, pay and performance review policies and processes to ensure that employees are paid fairly and equitably based on qualifications, job duties and performance. We undertake an annual pay equity study to identify anomalies and take corrective actions. |
|
|
Allyship Development Program This program is designed to create a common language around DE&I and the business case for advancing DE&I. The program deepens employees’ understanding of the ways that bias affects every person and creates barriers to DE&I. The program seeks to increase commitment and skills related to cultural competence and allyship, while building dialogue skills that bolster inclusivity and allyship. |
|
|
Inclusive Leadership Series We launched this series to engage in DE&I conversations using candor, compassion and courage, while developing listening skills to be more inclusive leaders who champion DE&I within their teams and across the enterprise. The series articulates the importance of Fulton’s business case for DE&I and how it aligns with functional areas and teams. |
