Diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI)
In 2019, ESMT signed the “Charta der Vielfalt” (Diversity Charter), joining Germany’s largest network of companies and organizations committed to creating a diverse and inclusive environment in which to work and learn.
Our faculty, staff, and students are thus committed to:
- Nurturing a diverse, inclusive, and equitable community that enables personal transformation through learning and development;
- Creating a culture that welcomes a wide variety of perspectives and promotes thoughtful and respectful engagement;
- Valuing the unique perspectives of all in our diverse community; and
- Addressing systemic barriers to fulfilling our commitment.

Panel pledge
The pledge was approved by ESMT on February 8, 2022. ESMT Berlin commits to:
- Non-academic events offered by the school will not feature an all-male panel.
- Speakers from ESMT, who are requested to participate in external non-academic events, will ask the organizer about the gender balance of the program.
We believe that only by actively encouraging female voices will we achieve change.

- free of discrimination (e.g. gender identity, age, ethnicity, origin, religion, disability, etc.), and
