The European Diversity Month embodies the European Commission's long-term commitment for diverse workplaces and inclusive societies. Organised during the month of May, it aims to raise awareness about the importance of diversity and inclusion in the workplace and across our societies. Together we want to celebrate organisations' efforts that help build equal and inclusive environments for all.
Each year we ask organization and companies to join the European Commission in celebrating diversity and inclusion in the workplace by organizing their own internal and external events focused on the topic of diversity throughout the whole month of May.

These Charters provide support and promote best practices in diversity management to thousands of leading multinational companies, SMEs, public organisations and non-profit organisations. The European Platform of Diversity Charters now covers 26 national Diversity Charters, representing over 12 800 signatory organisations and more than 16 million employees
