Diversity policy

Diversity will play a significant role in DONG Energy’s growth in future. We are of the opinion that different types of competences and ways to view and approach problem areas will strengthen our possibilities to meet our strategy and vision.

We see significant investments and growth on ia the international markets which will have a large impact on our organisation and our culture. We will enter into new markets and other cultures which will affect our way of co-operation and our way of doing business.

This policy applies to all employees in the entire DONG Energy.

 

In DONG Energy we want to create the framework for unprejudiced relationships where focus is on results and development of the individual employee and of our company. Therefore, we expect that our employees, potential new employees, suppliers, customers and business partners show latitude and recognition in our common relationships and that our values; “responsible, result-oriented and responsive” create the basis for our common efforts.

This requires that we ensure a workplace with the right resources and competences among our employees regardless of their current life situation, sexuality, age, ethnic origin, interests, gender, education, religion etc.

Policy

DONG Energy observes national and international legislation governing the area of diversity in our culture and we work to draw attention to and promote a tolerant working environment which is built on mutual trust and respect in our interaction with each other, our potential employees, customers, suppliers and business partners.

DONG Energy wants to be among the best when it comes to knowledge about energy, especially when it comes to the ability to convert knowledge into specific solutions. A high state of knowledge requires an ongoing and targeted development of our employees’ potential and the diversity will help us draw attention to and develop this potential.

How do we work with diversity?
We communicate our policy externally as well as internally through a dialogue with our employees, potential employees, suppliers, business partners and customers.

DONG Energy welcomes diversity through the recruitment process, terms of employment, relationships with customers and business partners. The activities will vary according to identified requirements, culture and language and information about these initiatives can be found on our intranet as well as on our external homepages.

Charter for more women in management

"We have many female managers today, but I don’t think we have enough. I believe it is healthy for a company’s working climate to have a good mix of the genders and DONG Energy would benefit tremendously from being impacted by various types of skills and different ways of seeing and tackling problems.

We have also launched network groups and other concrete initiatives across the organisation, which you can read more about here. These initiatives are to ensure that we meet our target of more women in management at DONG Energy."
