Diversity as a purpose

We promote the diversity of our employees; for this reason Axel Springer AG has developed a comprehensive program on equality of opportunity. The program is controlled by the Equal Opportunities Working Group .

The Program includes various measures such as the promotion of an improved work/family balance, the development of the Mentoring Program for the selective promotion of junior executives, as well as the development of various in-house networks and furthermore the participation in “Girls’ Day”.

In addition to this Axel Springer AG has, as the first media organization, been a member of the Women in the Economy Forum since 1999.

Axel Springer AG has been singled out many times for its personnel policy oriented towards equality of opportunity: the company was awarded the “Total E-Quality” distinction in 1999. This distinction was awarded again in 2001 for the continuation and further development of this personnel policy. Over and above that, in 2005 Axel Springer AG was awarded the Special Prize in the “Success Factor Family 2005” competition by the Federal Ministry for Family Affairs, Senior Citizens, Women and Youth for its cooperation with other major companies within the framework of the “Women in the Economy” Forum.
