We believe innovation happens where people feel they belong, collaborate respectfully, and where different perspectives are explicitly welcome. That's why, at UnternehmerTUM, we build structures, learning formats, and clear points of contact that support a fair and safe working environment.
Charter of Diversity Certificate
We have signed the Charter of Diversity. The Charter of Diversity e.V. is Germany's largest employer initiative for promoting diversity in the workplace.
What we do in practice:
Structures and processes: We create clarity through internal policies such as our DEIB Policy and our Point of Contact for Integrity Violations, our complaints office under Section 13 of the German General Equal Treatment Act (AGG).
Community and exchange: We enable networking, dialogue, and mutual support, for example through Women@UnternehmerTUM and our physical Diversity Corner at Munich Urban Colab.
Learning and awareness: We foster knowledge, reflection, and inclusive collaboration through training sessions and keynotes, for example on inclusive leadership, neurodiversity, and sexual harassment in the workplace.
Discrimination, racism, and any form of harassment have no place with us. We treat everyone with respect and appreciation, and we work continuously to create a respectful environment that is sensitive to discrimination.
Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging at UnternehmerTUM
We are convinced that different perspectives, experiences, and life paths make us stronger. Diverse teams develop better ideas and more creative solutions. That's why Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging (DEIB) are a core part of how we see ourselves.
What this means for us:
Diversity
We value the diversity of visible and invisible identity traits, from age, gender, and sexual orientation to origin, language, and religion, to individual abilities and social background.
Equity
We create fair conditions and equal opportunities for everyone. This includes transparent criteria for development, promotion, and decision-making.
Inclusion
We build a culture in which everyone feels included and treated as equal.
Belonging
We want everyone to feel recognized, valued, and respected, without having to pretend or hide essential parts of their own identity.
Values & Leadership Principles
Our values and Leadership Principles are our shared compass for how we collaborate, lead, and make decisions, and they also underpin our approach to DEIB.
Leadership means taking responsibility for the team – not just for the numbers, but also for how diverse and strong a team is.
Claudia Frey, CFO UnternehmerTUM
Points of Contact & Processes
Respectful collaboration matters to us: you can confidentially report discrimination or misconduct to designated contacts at any time. Incoming reports are treated confidentially and reviewed carefully. They are handled respectfully, sensitively, and only the people necessary for resolving the matter are involved.
