The City of Bern has once again been re-certified with the Swiss LGBTI label, a quality seal awarded to organizations in Switzerland that promote equality for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, intersex, and other queer individuals in the workplace.

The recertification of Bern is an important distinction for an open, diverse, and inclusive city administration that sees diversity as a strength. For many years, the city has implemented measures to foster diversity among employees and create an inclusive work environment – supported by the Gender Equality Action Plan, which since 2019 has also included LGBTIQ employees. The label confirms that Bern values its employees’ diversity, welcomes queer people, and does not tolerate discrimination or exclusion.
