Open-Minded and Diverse

Business events bring people from all over the world together, enabling the exchange of ideas and knowledge, and driving innovation forward. At the GCB, we recognize the value of each dimension of diversity and aim to further differentiate and harness their potential. Diversity thus becomes another cornerstone of the values embedded in the GCB mission statement: knowledge and expertise, networking, openness, sustainability, and innovation.

We firmly believe that embracing and promoting diversity enhances our work, builds respect and trust, and significantly contributes to a successful future through creative solutions – for both the GCB and Germany as a leading meetings destination.

We strive to foster a culture of respect within the GCB team, embracing diversity across gender, age, ethnic background, nationality, physical and mental abilities, religion, worldview, sexual orientation, and social standing. This commitment extends equally to our members, partners, and customers. Our aim is to actively promote diversity not only within the GCB but also at external events, recognizing their pivotal role as platforms for exchanging knowledge and ideas to systematically incorporate diversity.

A key element of our endeavor is our endorsement of the "Charta der Vielfalt" (Diversity Charter), a significant initiative in Germany, signed by us in the spring of 2023. This charter stands as the foremost employer-led commitment to advancing diversity within companies and institutions.
