D&B David si Baias Declaration of diversity Today’s world is subject to constant changes – primarily due to the ongoing globalization and development of technology. Such evolution brings new chances and opportunities, but also the challenges and difficulties, that our organization is facing. Diversity is a constant journey that requires focus and investment and it has never been a better time than now to embrace diversity.At D&B, we’re committed to creating a culture of belonging. We are focused on diversity and fostering an inclusive environment in which our people are comfortable bringing their whole selves to work and feel that they belong and are valued. We know that when people from different backgrounds and with different points of view work together, we create the most value-for our clients, our people, and society. Our core values of caring and working together guide us to recognize the contributions of each individual and develop a workplace with a range of people, perspectives, and ideas.
What is Diversity for us? Diversity is the understanding that each of us represents unrepeatable set of innate and acquired features, which make us unique. It is respect for features and experiences, that are different from our own. It is building bridges of understanding among people, based on the differences between them. In this way, we can fight with discrimination together, and strive to achieve common goals.
Why do we talk about Diversity? Diversity of the community means, that together we can achieve more. However, we need to find answers to the questions, that bother us, about how to implement the principles of gender equality, age, race, religion and other factors, that make us differ from each other. That’s why we need Diversity Management – by taking action to promote greater inclusion of our people from different backgrounds into the organization structure. Thanks to Diversity, we want to do everything, what we can, to enable our people to fully use their potential – for the welfare of D&B David si Baias and our clients. Promoting Diversity, we hope to strengthen trust in our local community – to the organization, but above all – to trust people in each other.
How do we care for Diversity? Bearing in mind the above, D&B David si Baias undertakes to take care of the atmosphere and organizational culture and manage diversity within the organization, in particular through:
- increasing our people’s awareness of diversity and its level within D&B David si Baias;
- support for future parents and people bringing up children;
- promoting the voice of women in the organization and consideration of female perspective on matters relevant to the organization;
- enabling employees to actively participate in the life and activities of the organization regardless of their position;
- considerate the position of minorities in the organization – in particular in terms of age, nationality and culture, religion, sexual orientation and disability;
- equal treatment of individual social groups;

TESTIMONIAL: I am writing this letter in my capacity as Regional Legal Coordinator for South East Europe in METRO AG and Head of Legal Affairs & Compliance Officer for Metro Cash & Carry Romania (“the Company”/”Metro”).
Our longstanding partnership with David & Baias SCA provided a great deal of value to Metro in matters of tremendous complexity and importance, that required legal and fiscal assistance and representation.
The David & Baias team, represented by Mr. Mihail Boian and by Mr. Dan Dascalu, successfully supported Metro in winning the litigation against the Paulesti fiscal authorities, in view of the contestation of certain fiscal duties imposed on the Company. Further on, the scope of our collaboration expanded to yet another sensitive project, the ongoing litigation with the Constanta fiscal authorities, where both Mr. Boian and Mr. Dascalu are enabling us to build a strong strategy, which we are confident will prove efficient in upholding Metro’s position.
It is for the professionalism, dedication and business oriented approach of the two gentlemen, that David & Baias has constantly been our choice over the past years, for handling legal and fiscal matters of high complexity.
