In April 2019, we started new offers for Premium-Signatories (Events like guided tours or workshops within the diversity context). The Austrian Charta-Partnership between the Vienna Chamber of Commerce and the Austrian Chamber will be continued. The Viennese Chamber as a service institution is responsible for the signatories the Austrian chamber is covering political interests.

 

2019 we created new series events called “Charta-Business-Breakfast”, where our signatories can present their diversity-activities and network with each other. We´ve held our second Charta Business Breakfast together with our signatory “Accenture GmbH” on May 15 th. The Theme of this Business Breakfast: Support of women in jobs with MINT-Background”:

Last but not least news about LGBTIQ*: Our LGBTIQ*-Confidant of The Viennese Chamber of Commerce is primarily involved in the activities of the LGBTIQ*-Advisory Board. The “regular’s table” is going on and will be going to be a Rainbowgroup in future. Some of our Charta-members were involved in a panel discussion in our event “the pink economic factor”, which had it´s main focus on the benefits of supporting the LGBTIQ*-Community in the tourism sector. During the Euorpride 2019 the chamber covered the entrance area like the years before with rainbow flags.
