The 1st Diversity Charter in Morocco underlines the commitment of organizations to ensure the promotion and respect of diversity in the workforce. By signing this charter, these companies commit to fighting against all forms of discrimination and to establish a strategy in favor of inclusion and diversity.

Managing diversity is a strategic lever for organizations to enhance social corporate responsibility towards employees, partners, consumers and the communities around them. Leveraging diversity helps companies become more effective, more innovative and aligned with the societies they operate in.

A number of companies in Morocco currently work to promote diversity. Today, a number of them have decided to unite to help advance the topic of Diversity in all its forms, both collectively and within their own organizations.

This determination is represented by this Charter that voluntarily engages companies to take concrete diversity actions for the benefit of their employees.
