10 YEARS FOR DIVERSITY DAY AND 39 NEW SIGNATORIES

On Tuesday May 14, 2024, Diversity Day celebrated its 10th anniversary! This national day is a privileged opportunity for organisations to take concrete action for greater equity and inclusion in the professional world (whether or not they are signatories to the Diversity Charter). The event aims to unites companies, public organisations and associations to promote diversity.

date:  10/06/2024

The Diversity Day started with an official tour, organised in the presence of Ms Yuriko Backes, Minister for Gender Equality and Diversity and Patron of the Diversity Charter Lëtzebuerg, accompanied by a delegation from IMS, represented by Christian Scharff, President of IMS Luxembourg.

Four activities took place along the way: ‘Vie ma vie @ Sodexo’ at Sodexo, presentation of the results of the working group on intergenerationality at work at ACL, visit to an exhibition at Handicap International, and finally fun activities on stereotypes at the Keter plant.

Followed by a question-and-answer session between the Charter’s privileged partners, the new signatories and the public. Discussions focused on topics related to the six articles of the Charter.

The day concluded with the official signing session of the 39 new signatory organisations of the Diversity Charter Lëtzebuerg. The signing session is open to the public and innovated with a ‘Giant Inclusion Fresco’, given by Benoite Aubé, Doctor of Neuroscience. Who also raised awareness of the benefits for everyone of a collective commitment to a more inclusive working world.

In total, the Diversity Charter Lëtzebuerg now has 328 signatories committed to promoting and managing diversity through concrete actions that go beyond legal obligations.
