GEA signals commitment to greater diversity
Düsseldorf, August 21, 2012 - GEA has signaled its clear commitment to
promoting diversity in the group by signing all of the diversity charters
in the European Union within a short period of time. The Düsseldorf-based
engineering company recently signed the last of a total of eight documents
at EU level in Alcobendas, near Madrid, Spain.
'Responsible diversity management is key to securing GEA's competitive
advantage in a global environment both now and in the future. Not least
against the background of demographic change, we believe that diversity is
a strategic success factor that allows us to tap the potential of our
employee structure - strengthening GEA inside and outside,' said Dr.
Stephan Petri, the Member of the Executive Board of GEA Group
Aktiengesellschaft who is responsible for human resources and legal
affairs.
A diversity charter is a document signed by companies and public
institutions on a voluntary basis. By ratifying the charters, GEA signals
its commitment to promoting diversity and equal opportunity in the
workplace, independent of nationality, gender, age, disability, or
religion, for example. There are currently eight diversity charters in the
European Union, all of which GEA has signed: in Germany, the
Brussels-Capital Region in Belgium, France, Italy, Austria, Poland, Sweden,
and Spain.
GEA established its own diversity management program in 2011 to promote
diversity in the composition of its workforce on a long-term basis. GEA
believes that integrating diversity into its corporate culture will provide
valuable answers to the challenges posed by demographic change. The signing
of the European diversity charters will be followed by further measures to
promote diversity at the Dusseldorf-based engineering company.
