Diversity comprises visible and invisible characteristics that influence us and condition how all of us act. SHARE Credit Wintershall Dea Wintershall Dea is an international Company – which can be seen at all levels. DIVERSITY, EQUAL OPPORTUNITY AND INCLUSION – WHAT DO THEY MEAN? Respect for different perspectives is not only vital to a harmonious relationship – it is the key to success. That view is shared by most German companies, according to a survey by the Diversity Charter – and that is backed up by figures from a recent study by McKinsey. Our ideal is therefore a working world in which everyone can develop their personality freely. One in which everyone feels they are seen and heard. Our objective is a diverse working world in which all employees can develop freely. Credit Wintershall Dea THE SEVEN DIVERSITY DIMENSIONS We aim to strengthen diversity comprehensively. Our diversity management is therefore based on a model that includes all seven diversity dimensions. That makes diversity more tangible as a goal and thus helps us put it into practice. Gender and gender identity Social background Ethnic origin and nationality Religion or world view Physical and mental abilities Age Sexual orientation DIVERSITY, EQUAL OPPORTUNITY AND INCLUSION AT WINTERSHALL DEA Wintershall Dea’s employees come from more than 60 countries – and together they form a strong team.

We aim to strengthen awareness of the advantages of a diverse and inclusive corporate culture by means of targeted corporate communication and diversity training at all levels of the hierarchy. We encourage women to take the next step in their career. We attach importance to a family-friendly working environment that enables anyone to hold a leadership position at Wintershall Dea who is interested in doing so.

Credit Wintershall Dea DIVERSITY, EQUAL OPPORTUNITY AND INCLUSION: OUR GOALS We have defined clear goals to drive diversity, equal opportunity and inclusion at Wintershall Dea. Since then, we have been adapting processes so that we achieve these goals. Credit Wintershall Dea INCREASING THE RATIO OF WOMEN IN MANAGEMENT POSITIONS It is our conviction that diverse teams at all levels of the hierarchy are more successful. One of our main goals is therefore for the proportion of women in management positions to be at least 30% by 2025. That ratio in mid-2019 was 20% and it is now already 27%. To create a better gender balance in our management team in the coming years, we are currently planning measures to make management positions more family-friendly or specifically to motivate women to advance in their career. INCREASING THE RATIO OF INTERNATIONAL EMPLOYEES Wintershall Dea is an international Company – that should also be reflected even more strongly its management team. We are delighted to have achieved one of our goals from 2019: 37% of our executive employees now have a nationality other than German. Credit Wintershall Dea Credit Wintershall Dea FAIR PAY FOR ALL Fair pay is a key component of our diversity and inclusion strategy – and we are currently conducting an equal pay analysis together with PwC and the EQUAL-SALARY Foundation from Switzerland. The results will be communicated in the fourth quarter of 2021 at the latest.
