OUR VISION
To contribute to create a resilient and inclusive community in one digital ecosystem
OUR D&I APPROACH
Understanding diversity means acknowledging that we are all composed of different dimensions that make us unique. At Besity, we developed our D&I approach by integrating the dynamic interactions between three levels:
Individual
Organizational
Environmental
As these relationships evolve, we work with businesses and local governments to ensure that their intergation strategies and policies are adapted to this ever-changing process.
We work with partners who take responsibility in co-creating an inclusive environment.
INTEGRITY
We take transparency very seriously, both in our work and in your participation into the work process.
COMPREHENSIVENESS
Our approach is based on a framework that includes three levels of integration: individual, organizational and environmental.
DURABILITY
Our work has a long-term focus. We support the implementation of D&I measures accompanied by regular assessments and follow-up.

Identity is a complex concept, which is also very much shaped by group-based characteristics. Marilyn Loden and Judy Rosener developed a famous framework, the “Wheel of Diversity”, in the 1990s, to think about diversity in the workplace. Anita Rowe and Lee Gardenswartz adapted this framework and added more layers, a decade later. Rowe & Gardenswartz’s “Wheel of Diversity” is divided into four dimensions: personality, internal (e.g., gender, age/generation, ethnicity), external (e.g., educational background, work experience, income, marital status, parental status) and organizational (e.g., leadership role, work location, functional level).
