The Advisory Board is amongst the first of its kind within the DAX30 companies and is part of a larger commitment to promote diverse representation, equitable structures and make Delivery Hero an even more inclusive workplace - where everyone belongs. Niklas Östberg, CEO and Co-founder of Delivery Hero, said: "Our new D&I Advisory Board will provide regular advice and consultation, functioning as a strategic partner to evolve Delivery Hero's D&I strategy. We are committed to ensuring equal representation across the organization and I am a proud supporter of the work ahead of us. Putting diversity and inclusion at the forefront of what we do is not only the right thing to do, it is also smart business. I invite our fellow peers across the industry to do the same." The internal and external members of the Advisory Board will act as a body of expertise and experience to influence and improve the company's D&I work. This pertains to all aspects of diversity and inclusion. The DAB will focus on bringing forward perspectives of underrepresented groups related to visible identities like gender, ethnicity, and disability, as well as invisible identities like sexual orientation, religion, and neurodiversity. The mandate of the Advisory Board is three-fold: provide regular advice and act as a sounding board for the D&I program, strengthen the global inclusion work across the group, as well as being ambassadors within and outside the organization, championing D&I at Delivery Hero and beyond. This will be achieved not only through the amplification of Delivery Hero's diversity and inclusion efforts but also by increasing equity to business decisions and daily operations.
