"One of the EIB Group's core values is Equal opportunities. The EIB Group endeavours to provide equal opportunities to its staff members. In its diverse work environment, it is essential to respect and appreciate differences amongst individuals in the organisation. Staff members all contribute with diverse perspectives, experiences, knowledge, and culture. A diverse and inclusive workplace is the key to having higher-performing colleagues, more innovative solutions, and greater motivation and engagement. An inclusive culture requires both action and commitment. We believe it is the responsibility of each one of us at the Bank to foster inclusion. We will realise our vision of a work environment where everyone contributes to the best of their ability through our 2018-2021 Strategy for Diversity and Inclusion, which is centred on three pillars: Protect. Impact. Invest."

Your interviewer is trying to gain insights into your cultural competence. Someone who is culturally competent exhibits an intellectual curiosity to learn more about those who come from backgrounds different from their own without misinterpreting different cultural and social cues or responding to things emotionally, defensively, or from a place of ignorance. Those who are culturally competent have a wider range of perspectives and a deeper understanding of intention and are capable of learning from others, regardless of their background, walk of life, or upbringing.
