Description of the action
At Arendt we value everyone as unique.
Our company organised a collective registration for our staff to participate to the Pride Run that was held in July 2023 and 2024. All registration fees were contributed to a project aimed at raising awareness about theinclusion of LGBTIQIA+ individuals in the sports sector through seminars, trainings, and educational material for sports groups and coaches. We have used different communications channels in order to make this initiative aware to all our colleagues. With the Pride Run, it allows us to directly touch upon our sportsmen and women. By participating they show their support to the cause while reflecting a spirit of open-mindedness.
Context
This project aligns with our diversity andinclusion strategy to promote and develop awareness about diversity andinclusion in and outside the workplace.
Objectives
This event brings together our employees to show their support for the LGBTIQIA+ community and help create a more inclusive and equal world.
Approach
Our Arendt Diversity &inclusion Network (DNA) is an internal network created to put into practice Arendt's commitment towards Diversity andinclusion. DNA is formed by every member of Arendt who wants to join the network and is organised by a coordination committee. The Coordination Committee acts in coordination with the Strategy Committee to implement practical measures in order to raise the awareness of our diversity initiatives within the Arendt Group. This event was made in coordination with ING & the City of Luxembourg.
The event took place in July 2023 and 2024.
