Deutsche Telekom is a powerful advocate for an inclusive working environment with equal opportunities for all, enabling everyone to enjoy the benefits of seamless connectivity. To this end, the company acknowledges that the diversity of backgrounds, experiences, perspectives, and skills in the workforce is pivotal to its success. Deutsche Telekom strives to develop a safe, open working community for all, regardless of age, gender identity and expression, physical or mental ability, nationality, social and ethnic background, religion/faith, or sexual orientation. An in-house pulse survey of Group employees (excluding T‑Mobile US) in November 2023 found that 1.2 percent of respondents identify as non-binary.

Deutsche Telekom has long championed diversity, equity, and inclusion (DE&I) at the workplace. The adoption of our updated DE&I Policy in late 2021/early 2022 further strengthened our efforts in this regard. Implementation of this policy across the seven dimensions of diversity is a key strategic focus. Structural and cultural change is driven by a series of targeted implementation plans.

One key aspect of this is our determination to foster an environment of continuous professional development for employees and managers. The learning landscape includes training courses on the various dimensions of diversity, unconscious bias, and inclusive language. Deutsche Telekom also makes every effort to ensure that the DE&I employee networks are involved when carrying out its mission of creating a more inclusive, open workplace for all. Our commitment to increasing the proportion of women in management positions deserves a particular mention. Our goal is that women should account for at least 30 percent of senior management across all segments by the end of 2025. Based on a renewed commitment by the Board of Management, this underscores our determination to drive gender diversity throughout all areas of the company.

Deutsche Telekom has a clear vision and comprehensive measures in place to create a corporate culture that celebrates equity, inclusion, and diversity, where every employee can develop their full potential.
