Currently, 26 national Diversity Charters across the European Union bring together 12,000 signatories (companies, public institutions, NGOs, universities, unions) and represent over 16 million employees. The Romanian Diversity Charter provides a framework for companies to develop existing policies and also serves as an information and discussion platform for the signatories, creating a highly collaborative and wholesome environment.
