Social responsibility… these two words are extremely important for Excelia. The Diversity aspect of our CSR policy deals with sensitive issues that are fundamental for living together in harmony: inclusion, prevention of and the fight against discrimination, gender equality in the workplace, and equal opportunity.

Such issues merit considerable collective reflection, in order to generate valuable and effective initiatives

2016: Excelia becomes a member of AFMD

Excelia has long been committed to diversity, with its Diversity Chair that has now been in place for some four years, in addition to having a Diversity Coordinator and a Disability Coordinator responsible for helping and supporting students in need.

In 2015, Excelia had already proved its commitment to diversity by organizing the International Diversity Forum. Our membership of AFMD in 2016 strengthened our position and presence on a national level, working alongside the Ministry of Labour, Employment, Vocational Training and Social Dialogue, major business groups and companies.

AFMD… an important acronym

The Association Française des Managers de la Diversité (French Association of Diversity Managers) is a non-profit association, founded in 2007 by managers who were looking to address diversity in the workplace as effectively as possible.

Today, this network, as a valuable forum for discussion and a laboratory of ideas, brings together more than 130 organisations including companies, institutions, local authorities, associations, major business schools and universities. They are all committed to creating a workplace that is inclusive, and that respects each and every individual.

The AFMD and its members draw on academic research and the practical experience of professionals to work on various themes relating to the transformation of management roles and the prevention of discrimination in the workplace.

The resulting publications and initiatives, which are the fruit of a joint effort necessitating sharing, excellence and audacity, are then made available to the widest possible audience.
