Diversity at Kaufland e-commerce

Diversity is crucial for a lively culture of exchange and discussion. It also helps us broaden our own perspectives and engage in open dialogue with other people. For us as an employer, diversity means treating every employee, every colleague and every applicant equally. Read on to find out how we put diversity into practice and what we are doing to advocate for this issue.

Equal treatment during the application process

We treat every applicant equally. For starters, we publish every job opening with a note that all genders are welcome. Plus, you can give us your pronouns in the contact form you fill out during the application process, which ensures we will address you correctly from the get-go. As soon as your application reaches our HR department, it will only be evaluated based on your experience and skills; aspects such as gender, age, religion and origin are irrelevant.

Diversity of our colleagues

Here at Kaufland e-commerce, there are so many people with so many identities! Our roughly 850 employees come from more than 65 countries, and 44 percent of them are women.

And it’s not just words; you can really see this diversity shining through in what we do:

The most commonly spoken languages in our offices are English and German. At Kaufland e-commerce, we want to create a safe space where everyone is accepted and respected. This is the only way we can be truly innovative. We benefit from the diversity of our teams – in meetings, brainstorming sessions and problem solving. Only when people feel at ease and experience acceptance, tolerance and respect can they confidently speak up and contribute.

Our Role Model at All Times principle encompasses tolerance and respect. After all, true role models don’t participate in exclusion.
