Building an Inclusive Labour Market Together

Our mission

Our ambition: a workplace where everyone counts

The Belgian Diversity Charter supports organisations in building inclusive workplace cultures.

We believe diversity is not a box to tick, but a strategic driver of innovation and growth.

What we aim to achieve

  • Inclusive Workplaces: Environments where diversity is not only recognised, but actively valued and supported.

  • A Strong Network: A community of organisations that learn from one another and grow together.

  • Transparency: Sharing honest insights on what works and where challenges remain.

  • Strategic Impact: Embedding D&I as a structural priority on the Belgian agenda.

Our Theory of Change: turning vision into reality

Where will we be in 10 years?

We look ahead. By 2035, the Belgian Diversity Charter will have evolved into a movement.

A hub for knowledge. A trusted think tank for policymakers. A driving force behind effective D&I practices that break long-standing taboos.

Our strategic priorities

To get there, we focus on three key areas:

  1. Access to the labour market: Making barriers visible and building a strong network of D&I experts.

  2. Workplace retention: Sharing knowledge on inclusive leadership and supporting organisations in retaining talent through cultural transformation.

  3. A Belgian ecosystem: Aligning efforts across Brussels, Flanders and Wallonia to create a strong, coordinated national impact.

How we measure impact

We believe in measuring to understand. Our framework is built around six steps that ensure continuous progress: 

 

Step Focus

What We Measure
1. Goals

Short- and long-term impact.

Create awareness and drive structural cultural change.
2. Indicators 

Data and stories.

Number of signatories, sectoral distribution and in-depth case studies.
3. Feedback

Listening to the community.

Annual self-assessments, surveys and focus groups.
4. Benchmarking

Learning from peers.

Benchmarking against international best practices from other European charters.
5. Transparency 

Communicate transparently.
An annual impact report that is accessible to all our members.
6. Improvement 

Never stand still.

Annual reflection and adjustment of our goals based on new priorities.

What is a Theory of Change?

A Theory of Change (ToC) is more than a plan; it is our strategic roadmap. It helps map out, both visually and logically, the complex journey from intention to real impact.
