This year again, Draeger Paris continues its commitment to the inclusion of LGBTIQ+ people and campaigns against all forms of discrimination against the community. To do this, the company signed the charter of L'Autre Cercle on April 4, 2022, during its national convention. This leading association campaigns for the inclusion of LGBTIQ+ people in the professional world.
"Our ambition at L'Autre Cercle is that LGBTIQ+ people are distinguished for their skills and no longer discriminated against for their differences, and that they feel free to be themselves at work." says Denis Triay, President of the National Federation of L'Autre Cercle .
As a signatory to this charter, Draeger Paris will work to implement a certain number of measures, including:
- Create an inclusive and respectful environment for all LGBTIQ+ employees,
- Ensure equal rights and treatment for all its employees, regardless of their sexual orientation and gender identity,
- Support your colleagues who are victims of discriminatory remarks or acts,
- Share best practices to change the general professional environment towards inclusion and progress.
"We can measure the commitment of a family group manager who is deeply rooted in the social responsibility of his company with this signature during an annual convention, in order to involve all the teams in taking into account the LGBTIQ+ theme." - adds Catherine Tripon, Spokesperson and Co-Manager of the Employers Division.
These new measures are in line with the actions already implemented by the company for several years now. Indeed, Draeger Paris is a signatory of the diversity charter. The company is therefore committed to diversity and fights against all forms of discrimination.
Furthermore, Draeger is committed to ensuring compliance with social and environmental standards in all its factories, through the conduct of various strict audits.
"By signing the L'Autre Cercle charter, we wish to materialize and strengthen our internal actions for the benefit of LGBTIQ+ people, as well as our opposition to discriminatory remarks and acts of any kind," states Olivier Draeger, Chairman and CEO of Draeger Paris.
