It opens doors to talent, innovation and better return on investment. However, today we are not nearly exploiting that potential. That is what the Diversity Commitment is about. To commit with others to increase the diversity in the companies of tomorrow.
Million DKK raised to drive diversity in startups and investments
Startups with diverse teams identified
Founders and startups sharing data on diversity parameters
VC funds, banks, and public funds as members
We, the Committing Partners believe that equal access to funding and opportunity for all founders, will unleash untapped potential to the benefit of all.
We therefore commit to
Measure and track representation on gender and report annually to The Diversity Commitment on Internal Operations and Investment Processes, including deal flow. As an option we can also measure, track and report on nationality, age and educational level & background.
We commit to publicly share progress and learnings on our commitment in the press and on social media. We also commit our organizations to be available for interviews on the change and progress.
Within 3 years of this commitment all undersigning participants will aspire to have:
“Danske Bank Growth has signed The Diversity Commitment because we see diversity as a driver for performance. The numbers on distributions of investments into startups clearly indicate why we need The Diversity Commitment.”
“The collective power of The Diversity Commitment is invaluable, not only for the ecosystem at large, but also for us as a venture fund.”
At The Diversity Commitment, we unite individuals from diverse backgrounds to develop data-driven, intentional, and inclusive solutions, ensuring we build the best possible future.
We are always happy to hear from you. Send us a message to learn more about The Diversity Commitment by Intentional and how to become a member.
