Learn About Us
Diversity Charters across Europe encourage organisations (non-governmental organisations (NGOs), public bodies, local authorities, private companies and associations) to develop and implement diversity and inclusion policies at the workplace. By signing a charter, the organisation voluntarily commits to promote diversity and equal opportunities regardless of age disability, gender, race or ethnic origin, religion or sexual orientation. Becoming a signatory to a Diversity Charter provides access to a vast peer network, trainings, publications and supporting tools for benchmarking, measuring and monitoring.
