In our lively network, we as companies continuously learn from and with each other and will continue to do so in the future."
Ana-Cristina Grohnert, Chairwoman of the Charter of Diversity Germany since 2013, pointed out in her keynote speech that diversity is a topic of sustainability: "Diversity is a clear strategic success factor because diversity affects the entire value chain in every company," she said. She presented methods on how the success of diversity is not only visible, but also measurable.
