> Do you apply this to everything? Like say, a sports team?

No, at work where we have tens of thousands of people.

Sport is a voluntary thing, people just join it when they want (I guess, I'm not into sports, not watching nor playing).

> Anything impressive to show for it? Because it really seems like all this focus on diversity is your downfall not your strength.

Yes we have great quality of life. It's not all about money.

In fact I asked to move to a country where the wage levels are much lower, to have a better quality of life. Here around the Mediterranean the weather is better, people enjoy life more and take it slower. There's much more things to do in my free time that I enjoy. When I'm back in Holland I hate it, people are so materialistic. Always talking about their new car, how big their TV is lol. I don't even own any car or motor and my TV is tiny but I'm much happier here.

Also diversity is just a thing we do, we're not all about that. I am because I voluntarily spend part of my work time on it (LGBTIQ in particular). For most people in the company it's a message here or there, one little training per year and maybe a talk from one of us at the town hall meetings which are optional.

There's other similar programs in the company about sustainability and ethics.

Sports are one of the highest paying jobs in the world. Professional athletes in popular sports leagues are in the 0.01%.
