Our Employee Resource Groups

ERGs enhance the workplace culture and foster a diverse and inclusive environment. The various core teams initiate community projects and aim to create safer spaces where colleagues come together, raise awareness and support each other. They also amplify employee voices to inform leadership about the needs of their communities and act as a sounding board on many projects around diversity and inclusion within the company. The ERG programme is one of many Zalando sponsored measures aiming to ensure a more respectful and inclusive company culture, as stated in our D&I strategy Inclusive by design.

In alphabetical order, these are our current 12 ERGs and their brief self-presentation:
