Equal Opportunities

Diversity, equity and inclusion represent the foundation for an open and welcoming work environment. ELEMENTS supports a wide range of talents and enables all cluster members to achieve their full potential.

Family-friendly environment

Our meetings are held at family-friendly hours whenever possible and we provide childcare at our events. If parents need to bring their children to the office, they can borrow a portable KidsBox from the ELEMENTS office on Campus Riedberg. The box contains childcare items such as diapers, toys, as well as a travel bed.
