Honour Roll • 2025

Previous Winners

The organisations and individuals recognised at past editions of the Romanian Diversity Awards — in their own words.

01 2025

Antibiotice SA

Outstanding Leadership in Equity, Diversity & Inclusion

"

We are deeply honoured to receive this award for Outstanding Leadership in Equity, Diversity & Inclusion. For Antibiotice, ED&I is not a project, an initiative, or a checklist — it is a commitment to creating workplaces where every individual feels valued, respected, and empowered to contribute their best. We have learned that true inclusion starts with listening. It grows through collaboration. And it thrives when people feel safe to bring their authentic selves to work. At Antibiotice SA, we believe that diverse perspectives strengthen our decisions, our culture, and ultimately, the impact we have in the healthcare community. We are proud to work alongside colleagues who embrace these values every day and who understand that inclusion is not about compliance — it's about education, connection, and courage. This award reflects the collective effort of many dedicated people who advocate for fairness, respect, and opportunities for all.

Apex Alliance Hotel Management

Inclusive Workplace in Hospitality

Claudia Stan

Regional Director of Sales Romania

"

It is an honor for Apex Alliance Hotel Management to be recognized in this way, especially knowing that this acknowledgment reflects what happens in our hotels every day — people supporting one another, staying curious, and having the courage to explore better ways of doing things. Diversity is a true source of strength on this journey; it brings fresh perspectives, fuels our growth, and motivates us to continuously challenge the status quo in hospitality.

Techable

Disability Inclusion & Accessibility

Violeta-Mariana Mateiș

"

Techable was created to make tech skills accessible, especially in today's AI-driven era where digital capabilities are increasingly essential for future success. Ensuring that people with disabilities have the same opportunities to reskill, upskill, and prepare for the job market is crucial for building a fair and inclusive society. And Techable is here to make that vision a reality.

Diana Mazurichievici

Director ESG Integration & IR

"

Expanding access to finance has always been and will continue to be a focus for BT. We are delighted to see the real impact of financing on the economy and will continue to support female entrepreneurship for stronger and more inclusive communities.

05 2025

Prodlacta

Community Impact & Social Mobility

Ana Lupulescu

HR Manager

"

Receiving the Romanian Diversity Award is both an honor and a profound encouragement for our ongoing work at Prodlacta. For us, inclusion is built day by day, through many small but consistent commitments — from education and social mobility to creating real opportunities for people who rarely receive them. Each organization contributes in its own unique way, and we are proud to bring our part to a much larger puzzle; when these efforts come together, they create a more complete and more equitable whole. This recognition strengthens our belief that meaningful change happens when we all show up, with intention and with care, for the communities we serve.
