We see diversity and inclusion (D&I) as an absolute added value for our organization. We are therefore very pleased that we were able to sign the Diversity Charter yesterday, during the Week of the Entrepreneur. We did this during a meeting of SER Diversity in Bedrijf and T-Mobile in The Hague. With this Charter we pledge to deploy strategic means to promote D&I in the workplace.
The initiative to sign the Charter came from the D&I Taskforce. This group was set up by colleagues who consider D&I very important and are working hard for it. As an organization, we support this initiative and are proud of the fact that we were one of the 24 employers who participated in the signing ceremony. Within six months of signing, we will submit a Plan of Action, describing our D&I policy and linking targets to it. In addition, we will report annually on our progress.
