THE STORY OF THE DEPOSITORY TRUST & CLEARING CORPORATION
THE THREE PILLARS OF DTCC’S ENVIRONMENTAL, SOCIAL AND GOVERNANCE (ESG) PROGRAM
Building the Workforce of Tomorrow
While DTCC has always had a stellar reputation for making a positive impact on the global financial markets, it also places a premium on supporting local communities through engagement programs, philanthropy and volunteerism. In 2020, the firm was looking for other ways to strengthen these efforts with a cohesive strategy for capturing a broader set of actions and metrics. “Our Environmental, Social and Governance program is an exciting area of focus for our company and a critical business imperative that reflects our commitment to serve as responsible corporate citizens,” said Keisha Bell, managing director, head of talent management and diversity, equity & inclusion. “We prioritize supporting the communities where we live and work and making a broader positive impact on society and our planet.” At a time when diversity, equity and inclusion were at the forefront of a national conversation, DTCC could point to significant initiatives already in place. The firm had established a number of laudable programs focused on creating and expanding opportunities for growth and development. One of them is Advancing Women Leaders, which is a two-year program that equips women with the skills and tools necessary to expand their careers at DTCC. Participants in the program are assigned to an executive coach who closely works with them to create a leadership vision and career plan tailored to their specific needs.
