Central Bank of Malta hosts third meeting for Malta Diversity & Inclusion Charter Signatories

The Central Bank of Malta together with CORE Platform Corporate Citizenship for Responsible Enterprises Association hosted the third exclusive meeting for the signatories of the Malta Diversity and Inclusion Charter at the Central Bank of Malta premises on 4 December 2025.

The Governor of the Central Bank of Malta, Professor Edward Scicluna, delivered the opening remarks with a review on the Central Bank's main roles and functions.

Governor Scicluna highlighted the Bank's key responsibilities as a member of the euro area, including monetary policy, financial stability, payments, and the issuance of banknotes. He also underscored the Bank's strong commitment to equality, diversity, and inclusion.

He noted that in 2021 the Bank adopted its Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Policy, strengthening its anti-discrimination framework. This was followed in 2022 by the signing of the ESCB and SSM Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Charter. In 2023, the Bank launched its EDI Strategy to promote a culture of integrity, respect, and awareness of unconscious bias. Most recently, in 2025, the Bank signed the Malta Diversity & Inclusion Charter, further integrating these principles into its operations.

These steps demonstrate the Bank's ongoing determination to foster a supportive and inclusive workplace for all employees.

The keynote speech entitled "Supported Employment and Supported Business" was delivered by Esmeralda Zarafa and Kirsten Caruana for Lino Spiteri Foundation. This was followed by the premiere of a short video entitled "The Power of Diversity and Inclusion" and the welcoming of new Charter members. The following new signatories to the Malta Diversity & Inclusion Charter were welcomed: DHL Malta, Crane Authentication, JobsPlus, Calamatta Cuschieri, Superintendence of cultural heritage and Phoenix Wise Solutions Limited.

Subsequently, a tour of the Bank's Currency Museum by Mr Kevin Cassar was conducted.
