Respect, tolerance, diversity lived out – these are the objectives of the LGBTIQ* and friends network #WeDriveProud at Volkswagen. The communication platform arranges regular meetings and manages membership of an Intranet group, looking out for the interests of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transsexual and intersexual, as well as queer people, and came into being in March 2019 as a Diversity Management initiative.
The network has 450 members, some of whom we will introduce here.
Rafael Nasemann was initially employed by the Volkswagen Group as a trainee in Mladá Boleslav (Czech Republic) and has now been working for the company for 18 years, in a variety of marketing and sales areas. Before assuming his current position in product marketing for the electric ID. family, Nasemann moved to China for five years to work for a joint venture in Shanghai. He has now been commuting between Berlin and Wolfsburg for eight years and has become involved with the #WeDriveProud network as a speaker.
