The Diversity Charter is a European initiative to promote and disseminate equal treatment policies irrespective of gender, race, sexual orientation, ethnic origin, age, disability or religion, and to manage diversity in the workplace. The Signatory undertakes, among others, to counteract mobbing and discrimination in the workplace, ensure equal remuneration, access to work, promotions and training, as well as to promote behaviours and educate on diversity among its employees and cooperating entities.
