We are on a journey to create a workplace and world where everyone has equal access to connect their greatest passions with their fullest potential. That starts with our people and how we lead, with a sense of decency and inclusion." Michael Miebach Chief Executive Officer
Our approach
Mastercard is guided by our commitment to decency, which permeates everything we do. Our Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) work is grounded in our broader commitment to empowering people, preserving the planet and fostering prosperity.
Our commitment

We respect the rights of all people and have no tolerance for hate, discrimination or any form of hostility toward others. We strive to foster an inclusive environment where everyone is welcome, regardless of cultures, backgrounds and abilities.

An inclusive workplace that champions positive social impact inside and outside of its walls is not a nice-to-have — it’s a necessity. Diversity, equity and inclusion, if done right, can help organizations fully harness the power of their greatest asset — its people — to meet and exceed business goals and customer expectations. Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, or DEI as we call it, is a refinement exercise, one that will ultimately take a good company to great." Randall Tucker
Chief Inclusion Officer

BUSINESS RESOURCE GROUPS
Where you can be you and belong

At Mastercard, you’ll find nine distinct business resource groups (BRGs), created to promote a more inclusive culture for all. These employee-led groups come together based on similar interests or experiences and a shared passion for inclusion, and they are open to everyone. Each believes in fairness and equity and represents diverse communities and their allies.

Ensuring that our entire workforce is well represented


We seek a constant understanding of how we can best increase diverse representation of people at all levels of the company. Our numbers show us where we stand and where we may need to take action. By continually putting into motion programs and support systems to accomplish this, we maintain a workplace built on decency and inclusion where everyone can thrive.

U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission Report

The EEO-1 Report is a snapshot in time of our U.S. demographics and is based on categories prescribed by the federal government. These categories are not necessarily representative of how our industry or workforce is organized. The information provided on the Workforce Demographics page of our 2021 Inclusion Report offers a more accurate representation of our progress toward diversity.

To align with U.S. government reporting requirements, data in this Workforce Demographics section uses traditional gender categories of male and female. Mastercard deeply respects that gender is nonbinary; reporting in this manner does not represent our position on the issue.
