Testimony
" Germany was always been a country of great diversity. People from other countries and cultures have also contributed to its development and change towards a more plural lifestyles and ways of life both in society and in companies. On the one hand the speed of this change in this age of globalization, brings the need for individuals to search opportunities for development and improvements in the new environments through higher degree of mobility. On the other hand, the uncertainly of the new scenarios created by globalization demand a higher degree of social cohesion.
What brings sustainability to society and companies ? What can we do in the international context to leverage this reality into the future? The answer can be found in setting conditions based on common values. The key is to recognise the variety of experience, talents and needs on the basis of common values; to recognise the contribution of diverse peoples to the promotion and wellbeing of companies and society..
Therefore, I gladly sponsor the " Diversity Charter of Germany ". This is an important contribution to a culture of the differences and cohesion of our society and our companies; on the basis of mutual acceptance, respect and trust. I wish that many other signatory organisations will join the “Diversity Charter of Germany” during the “European year of the equal opportunities for all "
