Diversity, Equity & Inclusion

Diversity increases our innovative ability and ensures the success of the company

“Equal opportunities and diversity go hand in hand at Zeppelin: only the interaction of many different experiences and perspectives, which are all equally heard and valued, leads to new approaches, open thought processes and sustainable solutions and thus makes a significant contribution to the company's success.”

Alexandra Mebus, Managing Director and CHRO

We stand for fairness and equal opportunities

At Zeppelin, we foster a working environment based on respect, tolerance and diversity. Discrimination has no place here; we believe in equal opportunities for everyone.

Our commitment is not just a claim, it is also certified.

We have received:

• The trendence seal for a fair and equitable working environment

• The Fair Company award from Handelsblatt

These recognitions encourage us to continuously develop our corporate culture, striving for greater fairness, transparency, and appreciation in everyday working life.

Zeppelin management takes a clear stance against discrimination and for Diversity, Equity and Inclusion

We at Zeppelin are divers. We differ in appearance, have different habits, life plans, competencies and experiences. WE ARE COLOURFUL!

A colourful mix of diverse personalities helps us to reflect better, act more creatively and take smarter decisions. And this is how we ensure our long-term success. At Zeppelin, our Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DEI) initiative is centred around recognising, promoting and valuing workforce diversity as a factor for success, as well as establishing equal opportunities.
