Ensuring equal opportunities for colleagues of all genders has long been part of our corporate social responsibility, because we do not want to do without the knowledge and competences of female or non-binary managers and the performance potential of diverse teams. In this spirit, one of our particular aspirations is to increase the proportion of women at the management level. Our various programs for promoting talent, and so also for qualifying women for management positions, contribute to the long-term advancement of women. Other measures include focused succession planning, as well as internal and external mentoring and training programs. Exchanges among female colleagues are encouraged by an internal women’s network.
