The Diversity Charter is an initiative that promotes diversity in companies and institutions.
By signing the Diversity Charter, we send a clear signal for diversity and tolerance in the world of work and express our appreciation for all employees regardless of age, ethnic origin and nationality, gender and gender identity, physical and mental abilities, religion and beliefs, sexual orientation, and social background.
“Our working world is constantly changing,” says Madlene Jöckel, Social Responsibility and Health Expert at Schnellecke Logistics. “Through our commitment to diversity, we are able to adapt to social and economic changes such as globalization, demographic change, and declining labor force participation. By signing the Diversity Charter, we are now taking a clear position toward our employees, our customers, and our business partners.”
“Our society is more diverse and differentiated than ever. This makes it all the more important to stand up for diversity and for respectful cooperation in the workplace. By signing the Diversity Charter, Schnellecke Logistics commits to recognizing and respecting the diversity of society and its needs inside and outside the organization,” says Charter Managing Director Corina Christen. “Those who sign the Charter make it clear that the diverse needs of employees must be considered and firmly embedded in internal organizational structures. Because diversity is not only an attitude worth standing up for every day. It must also be followed by action,” adds Charter Managing Director Franzi von Kempis.
Diversity management is a cross cutting topic. The idea behind it is that an organizational culture where diversity is naturally lived enables all employees to contribute their potential in the best possible way. It also promotes the diversity of ideas or products the organization stands for.
