2.2 GENDER DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION
Our Consolidated Environmental, Social and Governance Data
Share of females in management stable
In Arla, we believe that gender diversity is key to the
success of our business. 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 strives to create a workplace with a diverse
workforce, characterised by mutual respect and trust,
promoting equal opportunities and allowing colleagues
to live up to their full potential. Diversity, inclusion and
anti-harassment policies are in place to handle issues in
a structured manner and a whistleblower 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 in ESG note 3.1.
Gender diversity (all employees)
In 2020, the female share of FTEs remained unchanged
from last year at 27 per cent. Read more about how Arla
works with diversity on page 40.
Gender diversity (in management)
26 per cent of positions at director level or above were
held by women, which is unchanged compared to last
year.
Gender diversity (in Executive Management Team)
14 per cent of the Executive Management Team
members were women, compared to 29 per cent last
year. The decrease is explained by the departure of the
previous CFO.
