Shaping diversity: Success through diversity

Diversity is more than just a buzzword – it is a key lever for innovation, sustainability and social justice in companies. The “Shaping diversity” network meeting is dedicated to the constructive exchange of ideas on diversity, inclusion and allyship in the working context – with exciting impulses, practical workshops and plenty of room for joint learning.
