BusinessEurope: Diversity as an added value

Diversity should be part of each company’s DNA.

BusinessEurope – the Confederation of European Business has launched a new publication focused on the support of diversity policies in companies that means an added value for both the society and the companies themselves.


BusinessEurope Director General Markus Beyrer states in its foreword: „European economies and companies must cope with demographic ageing, a shrinking workforce, paradoxically coexisting with significant unemployment, and increased pressure on public finances. At the same time, European companies need to find ways to overcome skills shortages or mismatches whilst facing increasing global competition for talents. Promoting diversity can therefore play a positive role in addressing today’s and tomorrow’s challenges in the labour markets and in workplaces.“

The new BusinessEurope publication „Diversity is Good for Business“  shows seven concrete examples by member federations or companies in the field of diversity including gender equality. The tools and initiatives are varied, but from the perspective of diversity and inclusiveness share a common feature of linkage between the social and economic performance.
