Corporate Social Responsibility Real impact through diversity

Brainlab has pushed boundaries and challenged the status quo in medical technology for over 35 years because we have a multicultural, multi-faceted team of innovative thinkers. We see our diversity as a strength and are committed to embracing and fostering that strength for our employees’ well-being and the success of our business.

“True innovation happens through teamwork, and the best teams bring together diverse backgrounds and mindsets. That’s why diversity is essential to us at Brainlab. By embracing different perspectives, we stay authentic in everything we do—driving real progress in healthcare.”

Rainer Birkenbach, Chief Executive Officer, CEO, Brainlab

Embracing diversity

We believe our growth and continuous innovation are fueled by the variety of perspectives, experiences, and ideas our team brings to the table. Currently, we employ individuals from approximately 90 nations across 19 global locations—a number that continues to grow. We support intercultural diversity through initiatives such as German, English, Spanish, French and Italian language courses. Brainlab also strives to expand workplace diversity by increasing the number of women in leadership positions and supporting the professional development of people with disabilities, making dedicated resources available for guidance and support.

Putting our values into practice

One of our company values at Brainlab is authenticity: We value authenticity and those that pride themselves on wanting to change the world. We keep it real, we’re honest, we mean what we say and say what we mean.

We put this value into practice by respecting our employees for who they are, including gender identity, sexual orientation, race, ethnicity, citizenship, religion, abilities, age and family status. We want people to feel safe and valued so that they can live and work authentically.
