Growth from Knowledge

is powered by diversity, equity & inclusion

The world is changing quickly – and so are people. Business growth relies on knowledge of changing consumer values and markets. To truly understand people require a workforce that reflects all humanity. We celebrate differences and strive for equity and inclusion to ensure personal growth of our people across the GfK global family.

Diversity produces valuable knowledge

Deeper understanding of populations, their consumer values, and their markets, requires genuine diversity that reflects all of humanity.

Equity is the enabler of our performance

The greatest insights and knowledge arises from empowered colleagues who know that they have equal pay and equal access to all available opportunities, training and resources.

Inclusion unleashes the best in all of us

A workforce where the most diverse feel welcome and included is an empowered one that produces the best consumer values and market insights. Every single colleague should feel that they truly belong.

The shapers of tomorrow will come from every background and every culture. We believe in that. That's why we nurture an environment of trust and respect across our entire GfK community."

Global DE&I summits

To create real change in the workplace, we know how important it is to listen to each other and learn together. That’s why we host global summits about various DEI topics for our employees. This often features external topic experts sharing new information, followed by panel discussions with our colleagues. The dialogue encourages reflection on how we all can contribute to a more inclusive workplace at GfK.

Local inclusion initiatives

Our regional councils made up of volunteers from all over the world drive our local DEI initiatives covering a wide range of topics. They ensure the right topics are addressed where they matter most. All employees have the opportunity to get involved in these volunteer groups and move forward with the DEI topics that are important to them and their colleagues.

Celebration of international awareness days

Along with our employee-driven initiatives, we celebrate many special international awareness days and months at GfK. We come together globally to address topics like #BreaktheBias and Pride Month every year to unite for several global causes. By focusing on raising awareness and coming together in solidarity, these activities drive our feeling of belonging at GfK.

Employee-led groups

We want our employees to be empowered to make a difference in the workplace and in the world. At GfK, we have groups of individuals come together on various topics, such as Working Parents, New Joiners, or Women at Work. The activities they host raise awareness by getting together with others to help make our company a more inclusive place to work.

Our principles

The worldwide operating GfK Group endorses the core principles and rights set forth in the United Nations Declaration of Human Rights and the Social Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union. These are the universal values of human dignity, freedom, equality, and solidarity.
