Diversity is structure, not decoration

At Innovando Swiss, we consider editorial diversity a structural element of credible publishing. This page outlines our commitment to representing a broad range of voices, perspectives and topics. We believe that inclusion should not be performative but procedural — embedded in how content is conceived, reviewed and delivered. Diversity is not only about what is said, but also about who says it, how it’s framed, and why it matters in the public conversation.

Editorial purpose and pluralism

Our editorial mission is to reflect the complexity of the real world through a plurality of viewpoints. We do not aim for neutrality at all costs — we aim for fairness, transparency and multidimensionality. We select stories and voices that expand public understanding and resist cultural or political homogenisation.

Inclusive topic selection

Topics are chosen with an awareness of marginalised narratives, underrepresented communities and non-dominant perspectives. This includes geographic, linguistic, cultural, generational and disciplinary diversity. Our editorial calendar ensures a recurring inclusion of perspectives that fall outside mainstream filters.

Balanced sourcing and citation

We actively seek out diverse sources and avoid excessive reliance on a narrow circle of experts or institutions. We balance male and female voices, include emerging researchers, and reflect different forms of lived experience. Source diversity is treated as an editorial requirement, not an optional feature.

Language, tone and representation

All content is reviewed for inclusive language and respectful tone. We avoid stereotypical representations, biased terminology and language that could reproduce discrimination. Our editorial style guide includes clear standards for linguistic fairness and representation, aligned with international best practices.

Internal review and cultural sensitivity

Editorial pieces undergo internal review by editors trained in sensitivity to diversity-related issues. When dealing with sensitive topics, external advisors or cultural mediators may be consulted. The goal is not censorship, but enhanced clarity and ethical responsibility in narration.

Evolving policy and public accountability

This diversity policy is not static. It is subject to regular review and open to feedback from readers, contributors and institutional observers. We publish updates as needed and use feedback mechanisms to track performance in inclusivity and pluralism across our output.
