We actively promote the diversity of our employees and consciously use this as a driver for creativity and innovation when putting together our teams. In our appreciative working environment, all employees feel they belong and are supported in their diversity – because we are strongest together.
Diversity and inclusion
We embrace diversity and inclusion with regard to education, ethnic background, nationality, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, religion, age, lifestyle, and physical and mental disabilities or other protected characteristics. As an organization with mixed teams, we make better decisions, act more creatively and innovatively, and are more successful as a result.
Recognizing and appreciating the diversity of our customers and their needs is a prerequisite for developing and offering the best possible products and services.

That is why we promote a culture of successfully combining family and career and create long-term structures to guarantee family-friendly working conditions – for all family concepts. In addition to the classic family constellations, this also includes same-sex couples, single parents or family teams.
