Diversity is an integral part of our corporate strategy and is anchored as one of our values in the “We are Bosch” mission statement.

By including everyone and ensuring equal opportunities we unleash our full potential.
We are convinced that our great cultural diversity strengthens us. As a global player, people from more than 150 different nations work at Bosch.

Selected highlights and activities:
Bosch fundamentally condemns discrimination and racism
At Bosch, we stand for respectful cooperation and we are setting clear signals against discrimination and racism. We have been dealing with the topic “unconscious bias” for years and thus we are promoting the reflective handling of prejudices and stereotypes. Workshops have been held around the world in which associates address the influence of unconscious bias on their actions.
Potential causes of discrimination are systematically pursued at Bosch. If associates feel discriminated against, they can turn to various contact persons. This includes managers, HR, and diversity coordinators. In Germany, for example, there is also the option of approaching the social counseling service or the worker's council. In addition, possible misconduct, such as cases of discrimination, racism, or harassment, can be reported online securely and confidentially via the Bosch reporting system. You can use the postbox in the online reporting tool to chat anonymously with the Compliance Department.
