‘Diversity is a success factor’ – Mabanaft signs the German Diversity Charter
Hamburg, May 18, 2021 – Mabanaft Group CEO Jonathan Perkins signs the Diversity Charter on German Diversity Day, thereby taking a stand against discrimination and exclusion. Diversity efforts will focus on promoting women in the company and social inclusion. To celebrate the 9th German Diversity Day, Mabanaft CEO Jonathan Perkins signed the “Charta der Vielfalt” (“Diversity Charter”) today. “Signing the charter is something I really care about. And that is because I firmly believe that we, as a company, benefit from diversity of our colleagues – personally and professionally,” Perkins explains. By becoming a signatory like almost 4,000 other companies in Germany, Mabanaft is signalling its opposition to discriminating against and excluding people on the basis of gender, gender identity, nationality, ethnic background, religion, worldview, disability, age or sexual orientation. Thomas Clever, Head of Human Resources, is also convinced that diversity adds value to the workplace: “Diversity has a positive influence on the atmosphere at work. Including different perspectives, personalities and cultural experiences fosters mutual understanding and strengthens collaboration. Diverse teams are more creative and innovative. This has been proven to lead to better results.” One focus of Mabanaft’s diversity management will be on the dimensions of gender and social background. For example, using targeted measures, Mabanaft aims to strengthen the role of women in the company and improve the conditions under which female colleagues can optimally develop their professional talents. This touches upon a wide range of issues, including recruitment, achieving work-life balance, trainings and mentoring programmes. However, Mabanaft will not be fostering diversity exclusively within the company. “For us, diversity is a task that concerns society as a whole. People often face disadvantages accessing educational opportunities as a result of their social background. We want to change this and help create equal opportunities for people in the labour market,” says Clever. To this end, the Hamburg-based company is providing financial support to the “Joblinge” initiative and the “Hamburg Stipendium”. Both programmes are committed to improving educational opportunities for young people who start their training, job or studies under challenging conditions.
