Esslingen, 13 June 2013
The “Charta der Vielfalt e.V.” promotes diversity in society, particularly in associations, companies and institutions. Not only DAX companies take part: medium-sized and small firms and businesses, public authorities, universities and others have also signed the “Charta der Vielfalt”. They are all committed to equal treatment of and respect for people regardless of origin or skin colour, age, gender, sexual orientation or disability.
The initiative is under the patronage of Federal Chancellor Angela Merkel, and the ECOINN Hotel am Campus has now also committed itself to its principles: on the occasion of the first Diversity Day, at the ceremony in Berlin on 12 June 2013, hotel manager Thomas Puchan was personally presented with the certificate, signed by him and Minister of State Maria Böhmer, by Ms Böhmer and the Chair of the Diversity Charter, Ana-Christina Grohnert. Maria Böhmer praised the courage of the signatories and the example they set.
Puchan, who has managed the hotel since 2012, has long put these ideas into practice: equal pay regardless of gender, equal opportunities and much more are practised out of conviction at the ECOINN, which is committed to acting sustainably not only in ecological matters.
