Both adelphi research and its subsidiary adelphi global strive for a just and sustainable world. Such a transition rests on perspectives and needs from different social groups. Thus, equality and diversity are foundational values for adelphi research and adelphi global that guide our project work as much as our internal processes and structures.
In 2021, adelphi research commissioned an in-depth and independent assessment of the status quo regarding gender, diverse backgrounds and inclusion at the organization from a specialized external consultancy. Based on discussions with our employees and the study's findings, we decided to address multiple dimensions of diversity:
- Gender (incl. monitoring and addressing our internal Gender Pay Gap, gender mainstreaming in our projects, preventing and addressing gender-based violence)
- Health & Inclusion (incl. supporting our employees life-work-balances through healthy and safe work environments, striving for inclusive employment for people with disabilities)
- Diverse Backgrounds (incl. diversity-sensitive hiring practices and career progression, preventing and addressing identity-based violence or discrimination)
The plan up to 2029
In 2026 we updated our first GEP from 2022. This document summarises the measures we have taken to address these areas, the tools and policies currently in place to monitor and improve them, and our objectives for 2026–2029. Progress on key indicators and related action points will be monitored and assessed on an ongoing basis. On the basis of this monitoring, the Gender Equality Plan will be re-assessed and updated for the next period in 2029.
