Mission Statement
Throughout our history, we have held one purpose – to help everyone we work with realize their dreams. In fulfilling this purpose, a constant theme in our work has been “opportunity.” We create opportunities for clients/customers to invest, purchase homes, attend college and to retire with security. We also create opportunities for our Associates to fulfill their personal and professional potential.

Diversity Strategy
We are proud of our multilayered strategy to ensure a vibrant, high performing diverse workforce:
•Diversity and Inclusion Business and Regional Councils, which operate in various business lines and global regions to address and promote diversity and inclusion.
•Global Diversity and Inclusion Council, a CEO appointed executive council which sets the direction and guides the implementation for diversity and inclusion in our organization.
•Affinity groups (formal, company-recognized groups of associates with common interests) that network and support one another's development and success.
•Bank of America Community Volunteers, geographically based volunteer teams of associates who encourage and capitalize on the diversity of our associates and promote personal and professional development.
•Diversity and Inclusion Client Management Team, which provides expertise, guidance, leadership and oversight to the diversity business and regional councils and actively liaises with the businesses and regions to embed diversity and inclusion in business-as-usual practices.
Our culture ensures senior executive management develops annual targets to increase diversity in their businesses and ties incentive pay to progress in hiring, promoting and retaining diverse individuals.
