Equal Opportunity in 

Employment and Contracting

Fannie Mae values diversity and inclusion and is committed to the principles of equal opportunity in employment and in contracting. Fannie Mae’s 

commitment to these principles is intended to promote diversity and ensure, to the maximum extent possible in balance with financially safe and sound 

business practices, the inclusion and utilization of minorities, women, individuals with disabilities, and minority-, women-, and disabled-owned businesses 

at all levels, in management and employment, in all business and activities, and in all contracts. Fannie Mae prohibits any form of discrimination on any 

basis protected by applicable federal, state, or local law, including, but not limited to, race, color, religion, sex, national origin, disability or disability status, 

genetic information, age, sexual orientation, gender identity/gender expression, marital or parental status, family responsibilities, political affiliation, 

personal appearance, matriculation, any system of social stratification, homeless status, credit information, or veteran status. 

We recognize that by broadening our housing, employment, and supplier 

base, we serve our customers, employees, and suppliers more effectively.

Equal Employment 

Opportunity/Non-Discrimination

Fannie Mae provides equal employment opportunity for 

all employees and applicants. Fannie Mae does not make 

employment decisions based on any protected basis, including, 

but not limited to, race, color, religion, sex, national origin, 

disability or disability status, genetic information, age, sexual 

orientation, gender identity/gender expression, marital or parental 

status, family responsibilities, political affiliation, personal 

appearance, matriculation, homeless status, credit information, 

or veteran status. Fannie Mae further prohibits employment 

discrimination in any form based on any system of social 

stratification (e.g., caste, lineage, class.) This Equal Employment 

Opportunity statement applies to all terms, conditions, and 

privileges of employment, including, but not limited to, 

recruitment, hiring, transfer, promotion, termination, training, 

compensation, and benefits.

Fannie Mae will provide reasonable accommodation to qualified 

individuals with disabilities who are employees or applicants for 

employment, unless to do so would cause undue hardship to the 

company. Fannie Mae also will provide employees and applicants 

for employment reasonable accommodation for religious beliefs, 

observances, or practices, unless to do so would cause undue 

hardship to the company. In general, an accommodation is 

any change in the work environment or in the way things are 

customarily done that enables an individual requesting such 

accommodation(s) to perform their job and otherwise enjoy 

equal employment opportunities.

Equal Contracting Opportunity

Fannie Mae is committed to equal contracting opportunity for interested 

contractors and suppliers, including without limitation in its contracting with 

financial institutions, investment banking firms, investment consultants or 

advisors, financial services entities, mortgage banking firms, asset management 

entities, underwriters, accountants, brokers, broker-dealers, and providers of 

legal services.

Fannie Mae does not knowingly do business with any vendor, counterparty, or 

other commercial business that engages in modern-day slavery practices such as 

the coercion of labor through violence, threat, exploitation, or more subtle means 

of compulsion.

Fannie Mae’s dedication to ensure the inclusion and utilization of women-, 

minority-, disabled-owned and other diverse suppliers for all types of contracts 

is tangibly expressed by the following actions:

• Outreach to diverse groups and promoting opportunities for diverse suppliers 

to compete for Fannie Mae contracts; and 

• Requirements that contracts for services in any amount and contracts for 

goods that equal or exceed $25,000 in annual value, as appropriate, contain 

a material clause committing the contractor to practice the principles of 

equal employment opportunity and non-discrimination in all its business 

activities and requiring each such subcontractor to include the clause in each 

subcontract it enters for services or goods provided to Fannie Mae.

We recognize that by broadening our housing, employment, and supplier base, 

we serve our customers, employees, and suppliers more effectively.

No Reprisal or Retaliation

Fannie Mae prohibits reprisal or retaliation against any individual who reports or files a complaint relating to discrimination on any basis protected by 

applicable federal, state, or local law, or otherwise protected by any Fannie Mae policy, practice, guideline, or any other violation of this statement, 

or who participates in or cooperates with an investigation into such allegation(s).
