By joining the Charter of Diversity, we demonstrate our clear commitment to an inclusive corporate culture where we view diversity as a strength and extend equal respect to every individual.
Since 2005, we carry the TOTAL E-QUALITY award for exemplary action in the sense of an equal opportunity organizational culture. Helmholtz Munich is actively committed to diversity and inclusion in practice and is sustainably committed to equality.
In December 2025, we signed a cooperation agreement with WELCOMING OUT, thereby joining the alliance. As a PATRON, Helmholtz Munich is taking a stand and aims to create spaces for gender and sexual diversity.
We have been carrying the Stifterverband's Diversity Audit certificate since 2025, underlining our firm commitment to a continuously developing and inclusive organizational culture.
