TOLERANCE. For Deutsche Telekom, tolerance is synonymous with productive diversity. More than ever before, the Group’s global success is driven by the diversity of our company, the uniqueness of our employees, and the variations in their individual styles. Women and men, able-bodied and disabled, different cultures and religions, homosexuals and heterosexuals, young and old: Deutsche Telekom embraces this rich tapestry of personalities and experiences, skills, ideas and behavior. This is part of our transformation from an introverted, technically oriented and centrally controlled corpora- tion into an international, customer-focused network of equal partners who rely on one another. This is true throughout every level of the company, both internally and externally. Everyone linked to Deutsche Telekom benefits from our policy of “Adding value by valuing others”: our employees just as much as our customers and shareholders, suppliers and service-providers, society and the environment.  260,000 employees, revenues of 65 billion euros.  33 countries, cultural diversity, one corporate culture.
