It’s all about people. Diversity
We take pride in the diversity of our people. It’s part of making Zurich an employer of choice, while helping us to drive innovation and maintain a competitive edge.
How we understand diversity
Diversity can only be successful in an environment that recognizes, values and harnesses differences.
Zurich does not discriminate based on race, ethnicity, color, religion, national origin, sex, gender expression, gender identity, genetic information, age, disability, protected veteran status, marital status, sexual orientation, pregnancy or other characteristics protected by applicable law.
While we have key areas and initiatives at a global level, regions and countries have the flexibility to target and address specific issues that are unique to them. For Zurich, diversity also means embracing the different perspectives that our people bring and capitalizing on the value of these different views and opinions.
We carry out initiatives to embed and maintain a zero-tolerance approach to harassment, discrimination, bullying and disrespectful behavior in the workplace. Our commitment to respect human rights is part of the Group’s Code of Conduct.
