Diversity Charter Greece

What Diversity Charter Greece does

Diversity Charter Greece (Χάρτα Διαφορετικότητας) is a private nonprofit organization established in 2019 as the Greek national implementation of the European Commission's Diversity Charter initiative, making Greece the 23rd European country to adopt the Charter. Hosted by KEAN (Κέντρο Εναλλακτικών Αναζητήσεων Νέων), a Greek NGO, the organization operates a membership-based model in which Greek businesses, public-sector bodies, and municipalities voluntarily sign the Charter as a commitment to diversity and inclusion principles across six pillars: gender, age, race/color, disability/chronic illness, ethnic/national origin, and sexual orientation/gender identity. The signatory base comprises 350+ organizations spanning telecommunications (COSMOTE/OTE), banking (National Bank of Greece, NN Hellas), insurance (Eurolife FFH), retail (AB Vasilopoulos, Κωτσόβολος), pharma (Pfizer Hellas), and major multinationals (Coca-Cola, EY Greece).

The organization's product portfolio is anchored by an annual conference series — the Diversity in Business Conference (held at Zappeion Megaron since 2019, 7th edition in 2025) and the newer Diversity in Cities Conference for local government (launched 2025) — supplemented by the Be Inclusive training and consulting program delivered with Tack TMI, the pan-European Diversity Certification Scheme co-developed with EUROCERT (a 3-year Inclusive Workplace certification), Diversity Days/Open Diversity Days, the Speed-Fem Interactive Tool for gender-inclusive workplaces (funded under EU CERV), and the diversitynews.eu editorial portal. Revenue is generated through membership contributions, certification fees, training program revenue, and corporate sponsorship for events; EU programme funding (CERV) supports specific projects. The organization has no proprietary technology platform and operates with 11-50 employees headquartered in Ilion, Athens, with distribution supported through the EU Platform of Diversity Charters and partnerships with KEDE and EETAA for municipal access.
