Gender diversity

ASSA ABLOY values and promotes diversity. This includes ensuring a gender balance throughout the management team. The objective is to achieve a better gender balance at all levels of the organization over time.

The percentage of female employees within the Group as a whole is around 40 percent, while the number is significantly lower for managerial roles. Activities and results are followed up in connection with the Talent Management Process.

In recruitment and promotion, the underrepresented gender gets priority, provided that qualifications are equal. The objective is to have at least one candidate from the underrepresented gender among the final candidates.

 

Despite our effort to achieve a better gender balance in managerial roles, the real break­through still remains to be seen.
