Cultivating Diversity
According to the Eurobarometer of December 2017, In Croatia people mostly feel discriminated related to age (being older than 55), whereas in Austria people mostly feel discrimination related to political opinions.
Having in mind that combatting discrimination greatly helps the development of a sound society, it is very important to encourage and support anti-discriminatory practices. Austria adopted Diversity Charter in 2010, Croatia in 2017 and we are actively supporting it. Our MD in Croatia is Diversity Charter Ambassador and she participated in 9th European Diversity Forum held in Prague in October 2018.

- Embedding policies which promote diversity and inclusion throughout own operations, and encouraging suppliers and other business partners to do the same.
