Axel Springer’s Valuable 500 Commitment:
Axel Springer believes in and prioritizes Diversity and Inclusion. Empathy is one of our company’s values and we are passionate about integrating this value in all our day-to-day interactions.
As a global organization, we always want to ensure a holistic approach. In July 2020 Axel Springer established the D&I office to systematically drive a sustainable change in this field. Our mission is to reimagine the Axel Springer environment to be more diverse, equitable, and inclusive so that we can positively impact our business and society. In our D&I strategy, physical and mental abilities are one of seven diversity dimensions that we are focusing on.
We are dedicated to drive the implementation of the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. To operationalize this commitment, we created the Action Plan 2019-2024. Our Action Plan focus areas include:
-
Sensitizing and raising awareness
-
Creating barrier-free communication and information
-
Employment and workplace design
-
Training, education, and qualification
-
Health management, prevention, and rehabilitation
-
Social security benefits.
Our vision is an organization in which everyone is valued, respected, and feels that they belong. Therefore, we sign The Valuable 500 pledge and commit to actively working towards our goals.
