In our service-oriented and technically driven environment, clarity and comprehensibility in communication are essential. In our work, we deal with complex matters, which often makes the generic masculine appear to be the clearest option. We have therefore decided to use the generic masculine on our website and in external communications. This approach serves readability and is not intended to exclude anyone, regardless of gender.
We are aware that this decision may be perceived as controversial in an environment where many other organizations already use gender-neutral wording. It is important to us to emphasize that our language policy is dynamic and that we closely follow the social and political discussions on gender equality and linguistic inclusion. The current decision is based on a careful consideration of the ongoing debates and arguments. We remain open to adjustments and further developments in this area to ensure that our communication does justice to everyone.
