We are committed to building the principles of equity, diversity and inclusion into our work, who we fund and how we are run as an organisation. We want the Foundation to embody these values every day. If we don’t act, we risk people dying earlier than they should. We risk important voices and experiences being excluded from the debate.
Our commitment to equity, diversity and inclusion
Careum believes that diverse perspectives, experiences, and backgrounds are essential for shaping resilient and future-oriented health systems. In Switzerland’s diverse and multilingual society as well as in its healthcare system, inclusion, dialogue, and collaboration across cul-tures, professions and generations are particularly important. Diversity and inclusion are therefore closely connected to our mission to strengthen, empower, and connect people, or-ganizations, and systems in their commitment to our health.
To achieve meaningful system transformation, we actively promote the inclusion of diverse voices, disciplines, and lived experiences. We create space for dialogue and collaboration across professions, sectors, and countries—including through our commitment to SCIANA.
As a founding partner of SCIANA, Careum is committed to fostering an open, respectful and inclusive network culture. Through the network, we support leadership that embraces diver-sity, encourages collaboration and contributes to more people-centred health systems across Europe.
Diversity is a defining strength of the German health system - reflected in its workforce, the patients it serves, and the communities it is part of. At the Bosch Health Campus (BHC), this diversity is part of who we are and shapes how we think, work, and care.
We are convinced that excellence in care, research, education, and innovation can only be achieved when different perspectives and lived experiences are not only included, but actively valued and empowered. At the same time, we recognize that barriers and inequalities still exist - and we are committed to addressing them.
Creating space for diverse voices strengthens patient outcomes, fosters trust, and contributes to a culture of equity and respect.
As a partner in Sciana, the BHC is committed to advancing diversity and inclusion across the health system - by strengthening leadership, enabling collaboration, and driving meaningful change at all levels.
Since 1947, Salzburg Global has sought to embrace diversity and allow for an all-in exchange, believing that peace and reconciliation can only happen in an atmosphere of understanding, recognition, and true appreciation of different perspectives and opinions. Our approach to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) has expanded and deepened over time — a journey that unfolds day by day as we learn from our Fellows, partners, and friends and supporters around the world.
This journey is guided by three pillars: Diversity, assembling a globally diverse group of people to co-create programme strategies and theories of change; Equity, ensuring different voices, including those often marginalised in formal decision-making, have agency and can contribute to the discourse; and Inclusion, implementing best practices that give voice to and include the lived experience of the Fellows who attend our programmes.
