A talented and diverse workforce
At DOVISTA, we value diversity among our employees because it helps us to secure different perspectives and approaches, reflecting the societies that we are part of. Research shows that diverse and inclusive companies are likely to outperform their less diverse peers. Dif- ferent experiences and viewpoints strengthen the or- ganisation by triggering robust decision-making pro- cesses, enabling a competitive advantage. Focus on diversity in our organisation ensures the creativity and innovation necessary to drive a sustainable business. Our growth in 2021 is both a privilege and a great responsibility. Having a shared purpose to bring day- light and fresh air to people’s everyday lives com- bined with our objective to be a Model Company creates the platform for inspiring our people to do their best work, achieve career aspirations and thrive. Our culture of diversity and inclusion promotes an environment where all employees can access oppor- tunities based on merit, and over the past year we have worked actively to ensure equal opportunities for all genders during recruitment and promotions.
During 2021, DOVISTA has also improved awareness on the importance of diversity, which is a material topic where we have identified concrete areas for improvement. Gender distribution in management We are currently focused on creating the foundation for more women in leadership positions. Starting with the DOVISTA Board of Directors and the General Man- agement team, we are targeting female representa- tion, along with a diverse cultural representation that can promote the international scope of the organisa- tion. We currently have two women and four men on our Board of Directors, and our management team (registered directors) is comprised of five female, and twelve male management members. We aim to se- cure gender diversity through all management levels in the organisation, including female representation at every management level by 2026. 1
