Celebrating culture through cuisine
When 62 nationalities come together, something special happens. In December, the team at Nissan Automotive Europe (NAE) hosted an International Lunch, turning the workplace into a vibrant celebration of culture, connection, and community.
Colleagues brought traditional dishes from their home countries, wore iconic attire, and shared stories behind the meals - transforming lunch into a global experience. With music, laughter, and plenty of full plates, the event captured the spirit of inclusion that defines our multicultural workforce.
To mark the occasion, employees reflected on what diversity means to them, and how it fuels innovation, empathy, and a sense of belonging at Nissan. A short video was created to showcase the event and the voices behind it, offering a joyful glimpse into the power of togetherness.
Building belonging in Turkey
Our team in Turkey launched a new internal “DEI Talks” series, featuring journalist and psychologist Balçiçek İlter, who shared personal insights on inclusion and societal change with employees at Nissan Otomotiv A.S. (NOAS). During Breast Cancer Awareness Month, female employees received early diagnosis training from a leading professor, while pink-themed treats were shared across the office to spark wider awareness.
Additionally, the DEI Handbook was introduced to all employees through multiple, interactive sessions, reinforcing Nissan Turkey’s inclusive vision and the DEI Manifesto.
