Diversity, equity & inclusion

As a global company with employees from around the world and with various cultural backgrounds, we believe in diversity as a key driver of success, innovation, and better decision-making. We create a work environment where mutual appreciation comes first. We value you for who you are, celebrate your individuality, and embrace what makes you unique — regardless of age, ethnic origin and nationality, gender and gender identity, physical and mental abilities, religion and belief, sexual orientation, and social origin.
 
At ams OSRAM, diversity means that you can bring your fresh perspectives and experience to the table — because that’s precisely what strengthens our ability to innovate. Most important of all is your contribution as an individual: your ideas, your expertise, and your unique way of thinking. We want you to be able to fully unlock your potential, because diverse teams develop better solutions and bring new technologies to market faster. This enables us to better address our customers’ complex requirements.

How do we live diversity?

An inclusive corporate culture helps everyone feel like they belong and creates a work environment where people can be themselves, speak up, share their ideas freely, and do their best work. 

Through Conscious Leadership initiatives, we empower our employees and leaders to recognize and challenge potential biases and assumptions, so they can make fairer, more inclusive decisions. 

We regularly share training recommendations to help our people deepen their understanding of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI), take ownership, and build a stronger culture of togetherness across our organization. 

To drive diversity and inclusion globally, we leverage targeted initiatives and employee networks that promote dialogue and elevate diverse voices.  Recently, our locations across the globe invested in local initiatives such as 
 
  • Special Talks organized by our DEI Club in Malaysia,
  • celebrating cultural diversity across teams in China, for example, organizing a Family Day in Shanghai
  • uniting with a shared purpose and making a meaningful impact in Singapore (Social Impact Club),
  • a dedicated Diversity Day in Poland
  • our well-established Women Connect format in Austria,

to name just a few. 

Global initiatives

These initiatives bring people together, encourage networking and exchange, and create an inclusive atmosphere where everyone feels welcome.

The event featured networking, insights into DEI initiatives, and interactive discussions highlighting how diverse perspectives contribute to innovation, collaboration, and business success. 
Diversity Day Polen

To celebrate Diversity Day, employees in the Poznań office shared traditions, local specialties, and regional expressions from across Poland.

Appreciation & Responsibility

To us, appreciation means taking responsibility — for our people, our planet, as well as the communities and societies where we operate. Through local initiatives and social engagement, we’re helping build a better future.

How do we promote our initiatives on diversity, equity, and inclusion?

The focus of our internal DEI reporting is on gender, age, and nationality.  We have also embedded diversity commitments into our HR processes to keep DEI at the heart of our decision-making. 

To help more women grow into leadership roles, we have established targeted training and mentoring initiatives such as the Female Mentoring Program and the Women’s Leadership Forum.   

As a signatory to the UN Global Compact, ams OSRAM supports Principles 1 (protection of human rights) and 6 (anti-discrimination). We respect the human and personal rights of all our employees, business partners, and customers, as well as their personal dignity and privacy to ensure equal opportunities and prevent discrimination. These principles are set out in our Code of Conduct and our Human Rights Policy. We do not tolerate any violation. 

We are also a signatory to the “Charter of Diversity”, a voluntary commitment by German companies to promoting diversity within their organizations. In addition, ams OSRAM is involved in other voluntary initiatives such as the PROUT AT WORK-Foundation that aim to anchor and strengthen diversity and inclusion within companies.
