Inclusion and Diversity

We attract, hire and retain diverse talent

We want to build the best teams possible and recognise that in order to do so, we need to attract and hire a more diverse pool of candidates. We believe that different profiles add new perspectives to our company and we are committed to putting these talents on the right spot, and retaining them. We are motivated to ensure equality of opportunity and support the growth of our employees by providing opportunities for development.

We aim for our recruitment to take place in an inclusive manner. Hiring teams and selection panels will consist of people with different backgrounds and will change regularly to keep a fresh perspective on the people we hire.

Our Inclusion and Diversity policy

We aim for inclusion and diversity not only in terms of gender, nationality, age, educational background, sexual orientation, gender identity, religion, ethnic background, disability or distance to the labour market, but also across personal experiences, characteristics, socio-economic backgrounds and the different skills that people bring. Our policy defines our vision on inclusion and diversity, and outlines the concrete steps we’re committed to taking to get there.
