Experience Diversity

At Arvato Systems, we want to make equal opportunities and the enormous implementation and creative power of diversity and inclusion tangible. Only a diverse workforce that brings different perspectives to the table gives rise to creativity and genuine innovation. That is why we are committed to recognizing, promoting, and making the best possible use of the potential and skills of all our employees, regardless of gender, age, skin color, origin, disability, or sexual orientation.

To not only live these values internally, but also to communicate them externally, we actively support local clubs and organizations that are committed to inclusion, integration, and diversity. These include sports clubs that unite people with and without disabilities, LGBTQ+ clubs that offer people a safe space in which they can live their identity freely, organizations that provide advice and support to disadvantaged and sick children and their families, and organizations where employees and their families can do something for a better environment. Such initiatives are at the heart of a stable society, and we are proud to support them.

Diversity is not just an ethical imperative for us; it is the driving force behind our success. The more different perspectives and experiences come together in our company and society, the greater our innovative strength and ability to meet challenges creatively. Our Leadership Principles, therefore, also focus on creating environments in which all employees, regardless of their differences, can grow and develop.

We have already achieved a great deal in recent years. Our initiatives, training courses, and events on the topic of diversity strengthen the individual dimensions of diversity, such as gender equality, sexual orientation and identity, physical and mental abilities, and nationality. And we are continuing to build on these initiatives.

Therefore, Experience Diversity> is more than just a slogan for us — it's a promise. We promise to actively contribute to breaking down barriers, combating discrimination, and building bridges between people. We are using the launch of our new logo to take a further step at Arvato Systems: to promote more openness, respect, and cooperation.
