In November and December, Südzucker Group took a significant step forward in addressing the legacy of its history during the Nazi era. Together with the Stiftung Erinnerung, Verantwortung und Zukunft (EVZ), we conducted workshops on antisemitism awareness and prevention at our sites in Mannheim and Zeitz. These sessions targeted our leadership teams and internal multipliers, aiming to foster understanding, accountability, and proactive engagement within our organization. This initiative is part of Südzucker's ongoing effort to confront its past and ensure that the lessons of history inspire a culture of inclusion, respect, and vigilance. By openly addressing antisemitism, we aim to strengthen our commitment to diversity and human rights in the workplace and beyond. The workshops are only the beginning. In 2025, we plan to extend our learning opportunities on this topic to additional groups across our organization, reinforcing the values we stand for and amplifying the impact of this important work. A big thank you to our partners at the EVZ Foundation for their expertise and guidance, and to all participants for their openness and engagement. Together, we can create a future that remembers the past by standing firmly against hate and discrimination. #againstantisemitism #raiseawareness #corporateresponsibility

I got an "Appeal feeling" on the bus to Norrtälje in Sweden, about our time and historical possibilities. —- Dear friends, In a time of rapid change, we are now facing one of the most central challenges in our society: to both rebuild and renew freedom, community and responsibility. The Nordic personality principle offers us a way forward – a path based on mutual trust, cooperation and a deep respect for each other. In this context, it is inspiring to remind ourselves of an element of the Nordic principle, Immanuel Kant's categorical imperative, which reminds us that every human being has an inherent value and should never treat himself or others merely as a means. We all have a duty to act with humanity and to recognize each other's rights and dignity. It is precisely this perspective that gives us the strength to resist authoritarian and totalitarian regimes that threaten our freedom and our fundamental human rights. We live in a world where we often forget how our actions affect others. It's easy to feel lonely and isolated, but we have the power to change this. By engaging with our communities and taking responsibility for our neighbors, we can create a culture of humanity and support. Let's rediscover together the value of truly and authentically caring for each other. Every small act of kindness, every moment we invest in our neighbors and our community, builds a stronger and more cohesive world. It is in these moments that we shape our identity and show that we are more than just individuals – we are part of something bigger. By standing up for the value and rights of the individual, we can counteract the forces that want to silence us and deny us our humanity. We must be brave enough to speak out, to protect those who are subjected to oppression and to fight for a society where no one is left behind. I invite you all to reflect on how you can contribute to the common good. Every step you take towards increased awareness and responsibility for others is a step towards a more harmonious and sustainable future. Together, we can recreate and renew the Nordic spirit of solidarity and equality, where everyone has a place and where every vote counts. Let us take responsibility for our time and our fellow human beings. Let's be the changes we want to see. Together we can make a difference. Thanks. ________ Good Results AB [email protected]

📢 We are setting a statement: Together with hundreds of thousands of people who have gathered on the streets in recent weeks to protest against extremism and hate - and at the same time to stand up for freedom and diversity. Hate and racism have no place in our company. Instead, we embrace #freedom and #diversity and this is exactly why we support the German campaign "#Zusammenland - Vielfalt macht uns stark", which stands up against extremism and for freedom, diversity and a welcoming culture. The campaign was created by DIE ZEIT, Süddeutsche Zeitung, Handelsblatt, Verlag Der Tagesspiegel, Ströer SE & Co. KGaA and WirtschaftsWoche and is supported by more than 500 companies, associations, foundations and NGOs. #betasystems

Reflecting on the CSD in Göttingen Last Saturday, despite the rainy weather, more than 2,500 people gathered in Göttingen to celebrate Christopher Street Day and march for their rights under the banner: "We are here, forever queer." While the numbers may not match those of Berlin, Hamburg, or Munich, it’s important to recognize the significance of these demonstrations in smaller cities. Göttingen and many other cities show that diversity is celebrated and fought for not just in major metropolitan areas but everywhere, which is vital because it is often in smaller cities or villages where people are most afraid to face discrimination by being their true selves. The recent attack on 1,000 CSD participants in Bautzen by nearly 700 right-wing counter-demonstrators is a sad reminder of this reality. Although Göttingen remained peaceful, this discrimination is not just an East German problem—Braunschweig's celebration of CSD saw homophobic attacks and a wave of hate comments online. As a company, we typically take a neutral stance on political issues and respect everyone's right to their beliefs and way of life. However, these events highlight why we must take a clear stance, especially in light of the upcoming elections in September, because it affects the rights and freedoms of every individual. But it's not just a political issue; it's about being human. At isi, we have adopted this as one of our core beliefs: "We put people first". This means that we do not tolerate discrimination of any kind and are committed to creating a work environment where everyone is not only accepted, but wholeheartedly embraced in their diversity. Queerness is represented and openly lived at all levels of management, up to and including the board of directors, and therefore represented for what it is - a perfectly normal way of life. #Pride #CSD2024 #ChristopherStreetDay

As we contemplate our political climate of war, environmental concerns, identity, including gender identity, and the multiple layers of marginalization that perpetuate fear, uncertainty, and a sense of loss, we must remember that there is one thing we can control from our individual lens. Staying the course. As a political scientist, we are taught to read the rooms of history and interrogate shifts in trends; as a scholar, activist, and author, I understand walking the tightrope of our social contract, and as a #Blackwoman, my personhood and the Black bodies of those that look like me, is constantly threatened. In all these spaces, we must continue to tell our story, push beyond fear to hope, and be the bearers and witnesses to history the way those who survived the over 200 years of enslavement so we could live did. I advocate for: ~ Community ~ Network ~ Afrocentricity and African-Centeredness ~ SKU and the Sense of Being ~ Being authentic in our walk and our talk ~ Supporting the ecosystem that must live so WE LIVE Thank you, #SankofaBookstore, and Dr. Traci Wyatt of #TWDT, for the opportunity and space to serve, share information, and build community. It is my hope that the gems provided are uplifting and move us forward. https://lnkd.in/ewnSrqQZ

"Fight for the things that you care about, but do it in a way that will lead others to join you." - Ruth Bader Ginsburg In a world where passions run deep and convictions shape our actions, Ruth Bader Ginsburg's words resonate profoundly. Advocacy isn't just about championing your beliefs; it's about fostering a collective spirit that invites others to stand alongside you. When we fight for what matters to us, we have a choice in our approach. We can shout our opinions from the rooftops, hoping to drown out dissenting voices. Or, we can lead with empathy, understanding, and a willingness to listen. Ginsburg's wisdom reminds us that true progress isn't achieved in isolation but through unity. Effective advocacy isn't a solo performance; it's a symphony of voices harmonizing towards a common goal. It's about understanding that our strength lies not just in the power of our convictions but in our ability to inspire and mobilize others. It's about leading by example, demonstrating the values we stand for through our actions. So, let us fight passionately for what we believe in, but let us do so with open hearts and open minds. Let us build bridges instead of walls, inviting others to join us on the journey towards a better world. Because when we fight together, guided by compassion and understanding, there's no limit to what we can achieve. #Advocacy #Unity #Leadership
