The European Commission continues to publish new reports from the High-Level Forum on European Standardization’s workstreams. The new reports include recommendations on standardization in different fields and how they can support the relevant sectors across Europe.

Inclusiveness and Diversity are core values of the CEN and CENELEC system and are essential to develop standards that equally benefit everyone. For this reason, we are especially proud to announce the publication of a new CEN and CENELEC brochure: How to Be Gender-Responsive in Standardization.

Enterprises and other organizations, as employers, procurers, providers of goods and services or otherwise, are more and more aware of the role they can play to positively contribute to a diverse and inclusive society. Elements of a diverse and inclusive society are, among other things, a labour market that is accessible to all, social trust, economic development and opportunities for all individuals, a socially safe and respectful work environment, opportunities to participate in all parts of society including sports, education (e.g. traineeships), and cultural institutions.
