#PurpleLightUp is organised in German-speaking countries by myAbility and supported by Charta der Vielfalt e.V.. The day is intended to serve as an occasion to work together for the self-determination and participation of people with disabilities and to advocate for their concerns and needs, especially in the world of work.
Bayer 04 has also been committed to inclusion and accessibility for many years and, as a signatory of the Diversity Charter, sees these areas as pillars of social coexistence as well as an important building block of social and corporate sustainability for the club.
Specifically, this includes a barrier-free stadium experience through a service for wheelchair users, the deaf/hard of hearing and the blind/visually impaired. Through the Einfach Fußball campaign, an inclusive football group has been representing Bayer 04's colours on the national and international stage for years. This takes place within the framework of the Special Champions League, a tournament of inclusion teams organised by the EFDN throughout Europe. Through the school project Bayer 04 macht Schule, the club also puts topics such as participation, diversity and inclusion into practice.
