In an international context marked by tensions around issues of diversity and inclusion, debates are multiplying, revealing deep social, cultural, and political divides. These issues have a particular resonance at the heart of the European Union: the EU was built on the fundamental values of solidarity, respect for human dignity, freedom, andHuman rights. In the face of contemporary challenges, reaffirming this shared commitment to an inclusive and equitable society is more essential than ever.
Drawing on the expertise of the Diversity Charters
The European diversity charters actively demonstrate the desire to build a Europe for all. The diversity charters of the 27 Member States have more than 17,500 signatories, representing 17 million employees in organisations across Europe. By signing a diversity charter, organisations make a public commitment to promoting equality, diversity,fairness andinclusion in the workplace within a framework adapted to the context of their Member State.
In Luxembourg, a national commitment
The 11th Diversity Day Lëtzebuerg, the national day dedicated to promoting diversity, was held on Thursday, 15 May 2025. A real highlight of the year is that this event allows organisations to demonstrate their commitment through concrete and inspiring actions. Conferences, workshops, exhibitions, interactive stands and innovative partnerships are just some of the initiatives taking place across the country on this day. The 2025 edition closed with the annual signing session, under the theme ‘People, the key to sustainable performance’, featuring sharing best practices and inspiring testimonials. On this occasion, the Diversity Charter officially welcomed 35 new organisations.
