OB Beer has conducted the annual ‘Diversity and Inclusion (D&I) Month’ campaign to foster a culture where members with different backgrounds and characteristics recognize and respect each other’s differences.

This year, the company added ‘Equity,’ emphasizing that everyone should be given fair and equal opportunities, and planned the ‘2023 Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) Month.’ The purpose is to create a sustainable change by fostering an inclusive culture where all members in a diverse workplace have fair opportunities and acknowledge one another.

OB Beer’s ‘2023 DEI Month,’ running until October 31, consists of programs that allow participants to experience the values of diversity, equity, and inclusion, including ▲special lectures by notable figures ▲DEI counseling center ▲Harmony Canvas.

In the special lectures, Professor Yoon Dae-hyun from Seoul National University’s Department of Psychiatry was invited to present mental health management solutions for building a healthy organizational culture and happy work life under the theme ‘Techniques for Recharging the Mind and Social Resilience.’ Former LG Art Center CEO Yoon Yeo-soon, the first female CEO in LG Group, will share career-related experiences and advice through her lecture ‘Things Women Who Work Well Should Never Give Up.’ Additionally, various educational programs for internal communication are prepared, such as ‘Amazing Changes That Happen When We Acknowledge Each Other’ and ‘The Communication Journey of Sangha Jwau (上下左吾) to Know Myself and Understand You.’

Programs involving direct participation from employees will also be held. When employees submit their concerns, external DEI experts provide advice through the ‘DEI Counseling Center.’ The ‘Harmony Canvas’ drawing contest, where employees and their families express diversity, equity, and inclusion themes through art and reflect on the meaning of DEI, will also be hosted.

An OB Beer official stated, “We are carrying out activities to raise awareness within the company as well as institutional improvements to create a diverse, fair, and inclusive culture,” adding, “As a leading ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) company, we will continue to strive to spread the right corporate culture and realize OB Beer’s vision of ‘A Future with More Cheers.’”
