CEO
Good ideas, competence and commitment have no gender. This conviction has shaped our decisions as a company for many years. In our international group of companies, we experience every day the difference that diverse perspectives and experiences can make. They foster innovation, improve decision-making and strengthen collaboration across countries, functions and organizational levels. For this reason, we are committed to creating a working environment in which people, regardless of gender, have equal opportunities to take on responsibility, develop their skills and succeed. The fact that women are now represented almost equally alongside men both within our workforce and among our leadership teams is not something we see as an endpoint, but rather as motivation to continue on this path with determination. By joining the UN Women’s Empowerment Principles, we are establishing a clear framework to guide our future actions. We aim to build on our existing strengths, identify potential barriers and continuously improve equal opportunities within our processes, leadership culture and development programs. At the same time, it is important to us that progress is not only articulated, but also made measurable and sustainable. For us, gender equality is not an initiative alongside our day-to-day business. It is part of our responsibility as an employer and an important factor in ensuring the long-term success and future viability of our company.
