Diversity

We provide the same opportunities and consider it our responsibility to recruit our new team members exclusively on the basis of their fitness for the job and other objective and non-discriminatory criteria. Similar rules apply to the promotion and remuneration of our existing team members, which is again based on their performance, quality of work, compliance and other objective and non-discriminatory criteria.

We work together as a team and we treat each other fairly. We expect everyone to treat his or her colleagues with dignity and respect at all times. We condemn and are committed to prevent or eliminate any behavior which creates a hostile working environment. Therefore, harassment of any kind is strictly prohibited. In particular, we will not tolerate any unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors and other verbal or physical harassment of a sexual nature that exceeds what is considered a mere compliment or an acceptable private conversation in the respective culture. On the other hand, we respect consensual intimate relationships between Firm team members. However, when one of the partners is directly subordinated (within Firm hierarchy) to the other partner such a relation is to be notified to EC Officer.
