Gender Pay Gap was yesterday - We do equality

Equality for women is a success for everyone

There is still so much to be done. Social and economic equality of women is an issue everywhere, but has not yet adequately implemented everywhere. We are consistently working on changing this and want women and men to have the same opportunities in their careers. Equal access to positions, equal development opportunities, and equal pay for equal performance. At the same time, we are raising our awareness of the individual needs of women in their professional and private life.

Programs for equal opportunities

We support a range of networks, initiatives, and programs that promote equal opportunities for women and work-life balance. Here, the interests of women are represented across professions and industries.

As a partner of these organizations, we give female employees a platform to discuss their experiences with women from other industries. In doing so, we are paving the way for further training and career-promoting measures tailored to women. For women at the start of their careers – i.e., students and graduates – we offer support and transparency with respect to joining the company.

The Diversity Charter – Diversity as an opportunity

We are a founding member of the Diversity Charter, an independent economic initiative that is supported by around 3,300 companies and institutions in Germany.

Its aim is to create a working environment that is free from prejudices. All employees deserve respect and appreciation – regardless of gender, nationality, ethnic origin, religion or belief, physical condition, age, sexual orientation, or identity.

Femtec – Focus on women studying STEM subjects

The international Femtec careers platform is dedicated to inspiring women to pursue a (management) career in a technical field. We support these efforts by offering joining and development opportunities that are ideal for women who have graduated in STEM subjects. 

As part of the Femtec cooperation, we were a partner of the InnovationLab in 2022 and 2023, supporting female students by accompanying them during a project over the course of five months and regularly inviting them to our locations to share professional perspectives with them and strengthen their potential.

Femtec Alumnae

We are proud of each individual woman whose career path was kick-started by our Femtec cooperation. To build on this cooperation, we offer 60 Femtec Alumnae an exclusive upskilling program to allow them to extend their own skill set by exchanging knowledge with experts, through practical exercises, and participation in discussion panels.

In coordination with the network, focus topics of the program are defined and offered in virtual live sessions. True to our spirit of life-long learning, which we also implement and expand with our cooperation partners.

Women in management

When it comes to increasing the number of women in management, we are leading the way in German industry. Back in 2010, we already introduced a voluntary internal women’s quota. Our target: To fill 30 percent of management positions with women. 

The prerequisite for this was that our corporate culture would consistently demonstrate and enable equality. A culture in which the best talent gets the job and in which potential has no gender. We are proud of these figures (last revised 2022):

  • With three women on the Board of Management, resulting in a quota of 37.5 percent, we are way ahead when it comes to the Fair Share Quota among DAX companies.
  • The proportion of women in middle and upper management is rising steadily. We currently achieve 28.1 percent in this employee group.
  • Since 2010, we have increased the number of women on the Supervisory Board from 20 percent to 42,2 percent.

Despite these achievements, we are still far from our goal and are continuing to work on making equality a matter of course.
