Inclusion & Diversity

ConvERGe

ConvERGe is the umbrella name for our Employee Resource Groups. The name ConvERGe was chosen as it means 'moving together towards the same common point.' And that is exactly what we stand for at ASM, embracing a culture of inclusion and diversity. ConvERGe activities are centered around our core values: 

  • We Care: designing and delivering information and training that will enable the I&D agenda and culture across ASM.
  • We Innovate: creating and launching innovative initiatives to inspire employees; diverse companies are proven to be more creative and successful.
  • We Deliver: defining clear I&D targets, creating accountability, and monitoring our progress toward them. 

WIN

Women's Initiative Network (WIN) is our first operational ConvERGe group. It focuses on advancing and retaining our female talent and building a more inclusive culture in general. Both female and male colleagues are invited to be part of WIN, acting as allies and supporting each other throughout our journey.  

WIN is also about forming a sustainable and supportive female community in ASM worldwide to create a workplace that enables all to succeed and one where we work together to recruit and develop female talents.
