BUFFALO, N.Y., July 16, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- M&T
Bank (NYSE: MTB) announced today that for the second year in a row
it was recognized as one of the Best Places to Work for Disability
Inclusion in the 2020 Disability Equality Index (DEI).
The DEI was developed by the American Association of People with

disability advocates and business leaders as a comprehensive
benchmarking tool for disability inclusion. The Index measures key
performance indicators including: culture and leadership;
enterprise-wide access; employment practices; community engagement;
supplier diversity; and non-U.S. operations.
"We've been laser focused on attracting top talent that bring a
diversity of backgrounds, perspectives and skills to M&T Bank,"
said Tracy Woodrow, chief human
resources officer at M&T. "In order to attract the best talent,
we remain committed to building an inclusive team reflective of the
diverse communities we serve."
Glenn Jackson, M&T's chief
diversity officer, noted, "At M&T Bank we strive to build a
supportive and inclusive culture that values and respects different
backgrounds and perspectives. Every employee brings a diverse
experience into the workplace, and it makes us stronger."
As part of M&T Bank's employee engagement efforts, the
company operates more than 60 employee resource groups in
communities across its footprint, which provide valuable insights
into the company's diversity and inclusion efforts. M&T's
Disability Advocacy Network Resource Group plays an important role
in helping make the company a better workplace for disability
inclusion.
