Pride Month: Colleagues from the LGBTQIA+ community and allies share their views on our culture of respect
In June, as the world celebrates Pride Month, we asked three of our colleagues to share their thoughts on the significance of respect at our company. Their stories deliver a powerful message: For us, respect is not merely a core value; it's a tangible reality that shapes our culture and interactions. We identify as a company where everyone, irrespective of their sexual orientation or gender identity, feels both welcomed and valued. Consequently, fair treatment and anti-discrimination are part of our Code of Conduct and our Human Rights Policy.
So, what experiences have shaped Jasmin's, Luisa's, and Traugott's understanding of diversity and respect? Watch their videos to find out more.
