HBO/WO Internship Diversity, Equity and Inclusion

At NN, our approach to diversity, equity and inclusion is about embracing everyone. Together, we build an environment in which people feel welcome, valued and respected. We encourage our colleagues to bring their whole selves to work, aim to deliver an inclusive customer experience, and contribute to promoting equal opportunities within our communities.

We believe our company is strongest when we embrace the full spectrum of humanity. At NN, our aim is to recognise the uniqueness of each person and appreciate the value we all bring. When we acknowledge our differences, we are even more empowered to succeed as individuals, as teams and as a company.  Diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives enhance decision-making, foster innovation, improve financial performance whilst boosting employee engagement and motivation. Therefore, at NN, we are a supporter of diversity, equity and inclusion and promoting equal opportunities for all.
