Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DE&I)

At Page Executive, we believe that Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DE&I) are not just values; they are essential drivers of innovation, resilience, and long-term success. As organisations worldwide strive to create workplaces that reflect these principles, we are committed to leading by example and partnering with clients to achieve meaningful change.

We work closely with businesses to design and implement inclusive hiring strategies that go beyond compliance, ensuring access to truly diverse talent pools. Our consultative approach helps organisations embed DE&I into their leadership structures, fostering teams that deliver creativity, innovation, and sustainable growth. From advising on best practices to sourcing exceptional candidates, we support clients in building cultures where every individual can thrive.

By embedding effective principals into our own hiring strategies, we aim to lead by example. Our global initiatives complement this client-focused work. Rooted in a shared vision to positively impact one million lives by 2030, champion gender parity in senior leadership, and contribute to the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals, we combine thought leadership with action.

As part of our commitment to inclusive leadership and sustainable transformation, Page Executive Germany proudly partners with SHEconomy®️, a global platform driving institutional change through innovation and strategic collaboration, and FidAR – Frauen in die Aufsichtsräte e.V., a leading German initiative advocating for greater female representation in supervisory boards and top management. We support organisations in unlocking the full potential of diverse talent.

We can create a future where diversity is celebrated, inclusion is standard, and equity is non-negotiable.

Page Executive Germany – Executive Talent Insights That Drive Decisions

As part of our commitment to thought leadership, we produce insights and initiatives that shape the future of executive search. This includes the Executive Compensation Insights – Germany 2025, a guide to trends in compensation and benefits for senior leaders, and the Page Executive Leadership Podcast Series. Through candid conversations with top executives and changemakers, we explore what leadership means today, from DE&I and AI strategy to new work and career management.

We also actively contribute to industry dialogue through media such as Personalmagazin – Neues Lernen and Personalwirtschaft, and events like Personalwirtschaft 2025 Personnel Consulting Round Table, FP&A Board, Executive Lounge of The Boardroom, and the LeadershipNext Academy in Düsseldorf, where we engage with topics like sustainable leadership, career strategy, and executive networking.
