Differences make us better and stronger

Diversity and Inclusion

We are firmly embedded in society 

That sharpens our focus on diversity and inclusion a little more each day. We identify attractive opportunities and feel a sense of responsibility. By uniting the two, we create value for society. Now, and for future generations. We think it’s important for our organisation to reflect the level of diversity in society. Not just because it’s right to do so, but chiefly because we strengthen each other in this way. That's because by expressing our own ideas, experiences and outlooks, we complement one another perfectly. This feeds through in everything: in equal opportunities, talented people, innovative products and services and meaningful relationships. With our customers obviously, but with our employees too.

Some groups don’t always find it easy to seize opportunities without support or encouragement. We therefore focus extra attention on creating equal opportunities for women, the LGBTI+ community, people with an occupational disability, people with a bicultural background, people with a refugee background and vulnerable generations.
