This year, around 140 Bertelsmann colleagues from various corporate divisions proudly participated in Berlin’s Christopher Street Day (CSD) parade organized by the “be.queer” employee network. Under the slogan "Shine Pride," they joined over 250,000 people in a vibrant celebration promoting #diversity, #tolerance, and the rights of the LGBTIQ+ community. 🌈 The CSD parade, which commemorates the 1969 Stonewall riots in New York—a pivotal event in the fight for LGBTIQ+ rights—has become a cornerstone of the modern Pride movement. Bertelsmann's involvement highlights the company's commitment to inclusivity and equality. Despite initial rain showers, the atmosphere was filled with joy and camaraderie, with many gathering around the float as it made its way from Leipziger Strasse to the Berlin Victory Column. Bertelsmann’s participation was supported by leaders across the company, including Arvato Systems CEO Matthias Moeller, Bertelsmann Group Works Council Chair Günter Göbel, and Disabilities Officers Gabriele McNab and Regina Escher. The day began with a warm welcome at BMG’s Berlin headquarters, where BMG CFO Mathis Wolter greeted participants and distributed BMG Pride T-shirts. Reflecting on the day, Gabriele McNab shared, “The sense of togetherness and joy at ‘be.queer’ events is always overwhelming. Every person is welcomed wholeheartedly, regardless of their background or skills. This inclusive environment not only fosters a sense of freedom but also enriches my work as Group Disability Officer.” The parade, while celebrating LGBTIQ+ rights, also emphasized broader themes of social cohesion and the fight against discrimination. The overarching motto, “Nur gemeinsam stark – Für Demokratie und Vielfalt” (Only Strong Together – For Democracy And Diversity), underscored a commitment to unity and the defense of core values of tolerance and peaceful coexistence. Michael Lauk, Chairman of the “be.queer” network, reflected on the event's success: “Participating in Berlin’s CSD was once again a tremendous success. I want to thank all the employees who joined us and everyone who supports us year-round. Your efforts make a significant difference.”

The companies of the Bertelsmann Content Alliance are launching a joint initiative today, July 29, 2024, under the claim “My Reason for Confidence”. 💪 The aim of the initiative is to promote social cohesion. Bertelsmann's creative companies - RTL Deutschland, RTL Radio Deutschland, UFA, the Penguin Random House Verlagsgruppe GmbH publishing group, the music company BMG - The New Music Company and We Are Era - are implementing the initiative with a wide range of content on their platforms and channels: On air and on social media, in digital offerings, on the radio, in podcasts and with various events. The initiative is accompanied by a broad-based marketing campaign that focuses on people from the heart of society as well as prominent faces. They are united by an optimistic view of topics such as #democracy, #diversity, #justice, #antiracism and #goodcoexistence. 🤝 Stephan Schmitter Chairman of the Bertelsmann Content Alliance and CEO RTL Germany: „(...) With our content and the accompanying campaign, we want to give a stage to topics and people that are infectious with optimism and encourage a positive outlook on the future (…).” For further information, you can also visit our landing page: https://lnkd.in/esKRzZjv
