The Diversity Charter Lëtzebuerg is a national commitment text proposed for signature to any organisation in Luxembourg wishing to commit to diversity promotion and management through concrete actions that go beyond legal obligations.
The Charter is supported by seven privileged private and public partners - Deutsche Bank, the Ministry ofgender equality and Diversity, PwC, Linklaters, CACEIS Investor Services Bank, Sodexo and HSBC Luxembourg - as well as IMS Luxembourg, project leader.
Structured around 6 articles, it guides organisations in the implementation of practices that promote cohesion and social equity through networks, workshops and conferences, involving all their employees and partners.
Ninth Charter in the European Union, it is part of the European platform of Diversity Charters, led by the European Commission's DG Justice.
Building on its success with Luxembourg companies, the Diversity Charter Lëtzebuerg currently has more than 328 signatories (public, private and voluntary sectors), representing 22% of Luxembourg’s payroll.
