2.2 GENDER DIVERSITY
SHARE OF FEMALES IN MANAGEMENT INCREASED
A diverse workforce is key to Arla's success. Arla's policies
do not distinguish between men and women when it
comes to promotion opportunities or remuneration,
however women are underrepresented in Arla's
blue-collar workforce, and to a lesser extent in the
white-collar workforce as well.
Arla's goal is to create a workplace with a diverse
workforce promoting equal opportunities regardless of
background, culture, religion, gender etc. Diversity,
inclusion and anti-harassment policies are in place to
handle issues in a structured manner and a whistle-
blower platform enables employees to report any kind
of harassment. Work councils at both local and global
levels also help to ensure that workplace decisions are
made in the best interests of all colleagues and Arla.
Gender diversity for the Board of Directors is disclosed
