Female Empowerment with Femtec

The international career platform Femtec is all about inspiring women to pursue (management) careers in the fields of mathematics, computer science, natural sciences and technology. We support these efforts, as we offer optimal entry and development opportunities, especially for female graduates in STEM subjects.

As part of the Femtec cooperation, we were a partner of the InnovationLab in 2023 and 2024: as part of this, we accompanied female students on a project for five months and regularly invited them to our locations to show them career prospects and strengthen their potential.

Women in leadership positions

We are a pioneer in the German economy when it comes to increasing the proportion of women in leadership positions. We introduced a voluntary internal women's quota back in 2010. We have achieved our goal of filling 30 percent of leadership positions with women. Nevertheless, we continue to work on this.The prerequisite for this was that our corporate culture not only enables equal opportunities and diversity, but that we also live them consistently. A culture in which the best talent gets the job and potential has no gender. We are proud of these figures (as of 31.12.2024):

Three women on the Executive Board

With three women on the Executive Board, we are well ahead of the DAX companies in terms of the fair share ratio at 37.5%.

Rising proportion in middle and upper management

Women currently make up 32% of this employee group.

Almost half of the Supervisory Board members are women

We have increased the proportion of women on the Supervisory Board from 20% to 45% since 2010.

We're always working on it

We continue to work to ensure that equality remains a matter of course.
