BRZ is a Pride-Ally and focuses on diversity and equal opportunities

The promotion of diversity and equal opportunities at the BRZ, Austria's IT market leader in the public sector, not only increases employee satisfaction and attractiveness as an employer, but is also an important factor in the development of applications and services for 9 million people in Austria. Starting in the Pride Month of June, the BRZ is increasingly offering its employees and managers information and networking opportunities on the topic of equal opportunities for LGBTQIA+ people, and is also visibly demonstrating its commitment to the outside world with the BRZ Pride flag in front of the site in Vienna.

BRZ is an official Pride Biz Ally

The BRZ is now a new partner (Ally) of Pride Biz Austria, the association promoting the inclusion of sexual diversity in business and the workplace. Pride Biz Austria was initiated by the associations AG Pro and Queer Business Women.

As a top employer in the IT sector, the BRZ is strongly committed to sustainability and CSR. We are pleased to now be able to offer our employees the opportunity to exchange knowledge and swap experiences as well as gain access to networking opportunities within the community as part of our cooperation with the Pride Biz Network. At the BRZ, we address diversity and equal opportunity in many dimensions and are proud of the different skills and perspectives that our dedicated employees bring to their work," says Christine Sumper-Billinger, Managing Director of the BRZ.
