Our commitment to increasing gender inclusivity We are committed to building an increasingly diverse workforce with targeted interventions with specific focus at Group level on gender equality and preparing for the next generation of talent. In line with industry trends our workforce currently comprises 14% women, and we have mobilized to increase this share. Our goal is to have women represent at least 25% of our senior management by 2025. In March 2021, we became a signatory of the UN Women’s Empowerment principles. As of that time women represented 25% of our Board, 30% of the Group Executive Committee and 17% at all management levels. The UN Women's Empowerment principles elevates our efforts to promote gender equality and foster a fair workplace where all can be safe and thrive. This is essential to building a sustainable and innovative business for the future. Jan Jenisch, CEO Holcim Our actions to build diverse workforce Our people are empowered locally to create the conditions for a diverse and inclusive workforce, with particular emphasis on gender balance in sales and operational roles and developing talent at an early career stage. Inspiring future generations and hiring a talent pipeline are key to becoming an employer of choice, especially for those that would not traditionally consider a career in building solutions. We offer our employees opportunities to build and advance their careers by promoting access to education, training and networking. From a clear articulation of what we stand for to participating in community initiatives, our inclusive culture and social actions nurture professional growth and retention.
