Pride Month 2024
At RKW, we see diversity and inclusion as both a social and economic opportunity. We value and celebrate the diversity and diverse backgrounds of our employees and are convinced that heterogeneous teams increase productivity and foster innovative ideas within the company.
Over the past four weeks, we asked our colleagues various questions about EDI and Pride Month. You can read all the answers on our social media platforms such as LinkedIn, Instagram and Facebook and here is a selection of answers:

“As a young, dynamic and creative generation, we need to foster a more positive outlook on gender diversity in general, and specifically, on the presence of the LGBT community.
