The Sennheiser Group is proud to join forces with Rise AV, a non-profit organisation dedicated to advancing gender diversity and inclusion in the AV sector.
As a Gold Sponsor, Sennheiser supports Rise AV’s mission to create pathways for women and underrepresented talent.
By supporting Rise AV, Sennheiser aims to contributes to a shared vision: an AV industry where talent is recognised regardless of gender, and where inclusive structures enable long-term change.
Daniel Sennheiser, Co-CEO of Sennheiser, said: “When individuals from diverse backgrounds come together, they spark creativity and innovation in unexpected ways. By supporting Rise AV, we’re working to ensure more voices are heard, supported, and able to shape the future of audio.”
The sponsorship includes support for Rise AV’s flagship Mentoring Programme and the Elevate leadership initiative, alongside opportunities for workshops, training sessions, and internships.
These activities are aimed to create direct touchpoints for dialogue, learning, and exchange.
The partnership with Rise AV is part of a continuous journey: fostering more inclusive, open, and inspiring environments across the whole AV industry.
Sennheiser has been advancing diversity, equity, and inclusion through initiatives such as its Diversity Network, launched in 2019 and rooted in a women’s network from 2016.
Other milestones include the signing of the German Diversity Charter in 2022, the introduction of global DEI training for all employees by 2025, and the annual celebration of Diversity Day.
Andreas Sennheiser, Co-CEO of the Sennheiser Group, said: “At Sennheiser, diversity is not an add-on - it’s part of who we are. Innovation and creativity flourish when different perspectives come together. Our team is a vibrant mix of people from many cultures and life paths - just like our customers all over the world. Supporting Rise AV means amplifying that richness across the AV industry.”
