DIVERSITY, EQUITY AND INCLUSION AT First Metro Finance

At First Metro, diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) is not only an organizational priority, it is our responsibility as a strong corporate citizen. We believe that recognizing and celebrating diversity in all its forms — including diversity of thought, backgrounds and experiences — has the power to drive innovation and create better outcomes for our business, communities, clients and team members.

By achieving our DEI goals and strategic objectives, our communities will recognize First Metro as:

  • An employer of choice
  • A financial services provider of choice
  • A community partner of choice

Our DEI Pillars

At First Metro, we follow a Diversity, Equity and Inclusion strategy that focuses on four pillars. Championing DEI in all four areas helps us achieve our mission to exceed client, team member and shareholder expectations:

  • WORKPLACE

    We foster an inclusive environment in which different backgrounds, perspectives and experiences are valued and respected.

  • WORKFORCE

    We strive to build a diverse talent acquisition funnel and provide high impact team member engagement and development programs.

  • COMMUNITY

    We know that being a good corporate citizen involves social responsibility, and we’re dedicated to demonstrating that responsibility through community leadership, philanthropic support and volunteerism.

  • MARKETPLACE

    We want to serve the needs of all our clients. That’s why we offer a range of products and services to help individuals reach their unique goals, and why we ensure diversity in our suppliers and marketing efforts.

Supplier Diversity – Our Commitment in 2021

First Metro looks to partner with both large and small businesses that have certified ownership by racially and ethnically diverse individuals as well as people with disabilities, women or veterans. We pledge to include suppliers that reflect the full prism of our client base. In fact, 27% of our eligible spend in 2021 was with diverse suppliers.
