Program of Diversity: since 1990 CEERT has been carrying out research and interventions centered on the valorization of the diversity and to overcome all forms of discrimination at work, in public services and in access to Justice. With emphasis on the themes of race and gender, but also considering other forms of discrimination, CEERT has accumulated a long experience in the production of knowledge as well as in the development of methods and techniques appropriate to carry out projects of inclusion of socially unprotected groups. Specifically in the entrepreneurial area, at least four objectives guide our work: 1. programs of valorization of diversity are intended for the inclusion and promotion of equal opportunities and treatment of members of discriminated groups for their color, race, ethnic group, origin, gender, deficiencies, age, religious belief and sexual orientation; 2. valorization of the diversity includes ethnic values based on the search of equality and justice; besides an aspect of social responsibility, it also deals with the corporate interest connected with the objective of the business; 3. experience shows that programs of appreciation of diversity bring together innovation, creativity, versatility and agility, favoring the fulfillment of the business and optimizing the company’s image; 4. Programs of diversity seek to contribute to the promotion of a fairer, more sympathetic and sustainable world, in which institutions function efficiently considering the different social segments. We are currently counting on partnerships already completed or in the process of being made with the Brazilian Federation of Banks – FEBRABAN, Itaipu Binacional, JP Morgan Bank, Uruguay, FUNCEF, Oxfam GB and UNIFEM. The future of the program involves the preparation of public and private institutions to set up policies of positive actions.
