We're thrilled to have a partner like this organization to collaborate on embracing diversity and inclusion in the workplace.

I am delighted that Generali became a member of the D&I Shapers. I personally value talking about DEI issues with people who believe that in the 21st century we can combat biases and stereotypes in our society. I feel that especially corporations have a certain degree of
social responsibility in embracing diversity and inclusion, fulfilling
those values. I am looking forward to sharing and learning what
works and does not, and to learn from our errors
because making mistakes is human.

Diversity is also current topic in the field of law. It is a question of how much the law is able to change society and how much the law itself influences how people approach diversity. However, I am sure that by getting involved in D&I Shapers we can together raise important

issues related to law, diversity and inclusion.

Jana Sedláková

Recruiting, retaining, and developing a diverse employee community has been a strategic priority for UPS in recent years. Diverse skills, experiences, and perspectives matter for society as a whole and for us as a business. I believe the diversity of our workforce is what enables us to connect with a diversity of customers and communities and helps us anticipate their needs. When everyone has an opportunity to fully participate, we make better decisions.
