    DB Management Board promotes diversity.

    Our board members push the issue of diversity personally and passionately. In the "diversity of minds" spectrum, each of the dimensions gender, ethnic origin, physical and mental abilities, generation, social background and sexual orientation is supervised and accompanied by a sponsoring Board Member. Overall responsibility for diversity lies with Martin Seiler, Member of the Management Board for Human Resources and Legal Affairs.

    Diversity at DB

    We've been able to fill 100,000 positions, partly because we've learned to harness the potential of diversity to our benefit.
