Logo of the Nuremberg Resolution 2008

The Nuremberg resolution of 2008 was an initiative from which the registered association success factor FRAU emerged in 2010 . The resolution aimed to achieve equality between women and men in business. For this purpose, an increase in the proportion of women on supervisory boards was called for by means of a 40% women quota . With the "Law for the Equal Participation of Women and Men in Management Positions" from 2015, the so-called Quota Act, parts of the demands of the Nuremberg resolution were fulfilled.

On the occasion of the tenth anniversary of the Nuremberg Resolution, the Nuremberg Resolution 2018 made new demands, including the tightening of the so-called quota law.

Demands of the Nuremberg Resolution

The resolution makes the following four demands:

  • In accordance with the Norwegian model in the Stock Corporation Act, it is to be stipulated that the supervisory boards of German stock corporations must be at least 40 percent women by 2013.
  • The definition of qualification standards for male and female supervisory board members and the corresponding legal anchoring,
  • The construction and further development of a central database in which all potential members of the supervisory board can register
  • Equal Opportunities Act for the private sector, including to increase the proportion of women in management positions.

Origin and organization

The Nuremberg resolution was initiated in 2008 by Martine Herpers, co-founder of the association success factor FRAU , and supported by many fellow campaigners in Nuremberg. The strength and success were achieved through the high degree of networking with other women's clubs. Members from BPW , EWMD , ASF , FU and internal women's networks were there from the start. On March 17, 2009, the resolution was handed over to politicians in Berlin. In 2010 Martine Herpers received the City of Nuremberg's Women's Advancement Award for her commitment.

There are ten regions in Germany in which regional groups of the Nuremberg Resolution collect signatures, issue leaflets and hold local events to raise political awareness for women in leadership positions. The Success Factor Woman conference took place in Nuremberg in 2009 and in Stuttgart in 2010. In 2011 the conference Strong Statements for Strong Women in the Norwegian Embassy was held in Berlin with the participation of Rita Süssmuth (CDU), Renate Schmidt (SPD), Krista Sager (Bündnis 90 / Die Grünen), Petra Müller (FDP), Hans-Olaf Henkel (former BDI chairman) and Thomas Sattelberger (board member Deutsche Telekom).

Supporters and reception

The Nuremberg resolution is supported by the Business and Professional Women, the German Women's Council , the Working Group of Social Democratic Women of the SPD and the Greens , among others .

In 2010, the Greens proposed a law to introduce a statutory quota for women in management positions. The Nuremberg resolution named the Nuremberg resolution as a recognized movement in the population for this law.

Some of the demands were taken up a little later by other initiatives and are supported by the Nuremberg resolution:

  • Berlin Declaration , first signature by the Nuremberg Resolution
  • ProQuote media, in which female journalists demand a quota of 30% women for editorial offices

In the 2013 federal election campaign , the network of all women's associations was consolidated through a merger of 10 women's associations at the level of their female presidents. The campaign “Top women ask top candidates” was noticed nationwide.
