Contexte
At LIST, we strongly believe in the benefits of an inclusive culture. LIST's approach goes beyond diversity andinclusion in terms of gender and ethnicity to take account of differences in a broad sense. LIST makes a commitment to all its employees and partners that it will promote a company culture in which everyone can contribute their strengths and skills to LIST's strategy, and develop their potential, regardless of their ethnicity, beliefs, age, gender or sexual orientation. D&I management has been one of the organization's priorities since 2021 and has also been structurally anchored in the organization. The mission statement and values reflect this aspiration. The D&I Charter defines the following diversity principles for LIST: •LIST strives to provide a work environment that is free of prejudice and characterized by acceptance and mutual trust. •We are committed to providing all employees with equal opportunities for development, promoting their professional growth and enabling them to balance work and personal life. •All LIST bodies, departments and employees embrace diversity and are committed to the principle of equal treatment, mutual respect, and tolerance. •We are convinced that diversity and an appreciative corporate culture are essential drivers for creativity, innovation, and progress.
Objectifs
LIST’s workforce is very diverse in terms of the origins, education, age, gender, sexual orientation, and cultural background of the employees. We have made good progress over the last years in creating a fair, flexible and equal opportunities working environment. The aim of diversity management is to identify where we can do better, raise employees awareness, and develop and implement projects and measures to gradually reduce the inequalities identified.
