DE&I at Nasdaq
Embracing Diversity, Building Excellence!
DE&I (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) initiatives are a key focus at Nasdaq, and we believe that an inclusive and diverse workplace draws on the experiences, backgrounds, and opinions of all our people.
With a global workforce of more than 2,000 employees across 28 offices, our vision is to create a workplace where individuals can truly bring their authentic selves. We firmly believe that our differences make us stronger, and by embracing diversity, we drive innovation and excellence in everything we do.
Our DE&I Vision
Our vision is to establish a workplace that celebrates and respects all Adenzians, regardless of their diverse backgrounds, perspectives, and talents. We are committed to ensuring equal opportunities for growth and advancement and aspire to foster a culture of inclusion where every voice is heard and valued.
Leadership Statement
We provide resources and training to help employees better understand and embrace ESG principles, fostering a culture of responsibility. In September, we made it mandatory for all employees to complete training on “The ESG Framework: Promising Workplace Practices.“
ENGAGE, ENABLE, EXECUTE are the three pillars of our people strategy. Through these pillars, we are fully committed to nurturing a culture where every Adenzian can flourish, irrespective of their background or identity.

Employee Resource Groups
We believe that an inclusive and diverse workplace draws on the experiences, backgrounds, and opinions of all our people. One of the ways in which we foster an inclusive environment is through Employee Resource Groups.聽 These ERGs, led by employees on a voluntary basis, are instrumental in creating an inclusive workplace that aligns with our mission, values, and overall employee experience.
We take pride in supporting three Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) dedicated to acquiring, engaging, and developing diverse talent within the organization.
