Klöckner has many faces

Our diverse workforce contributes significantly to the company's success. We firmly believe that innovative thinking is only possible if it takes different perspectives into account. The successful implementation of our strategy hinges on the creative solutions of our highly driven employees.

We are consequently fully aware of the strategic importance of diversity for our business and regard it as an opportunity to harness the broad range of skills of a multifaceted workforce that brings various perspectives to the table.

Klöckner & Co is committed to an appreciative and prejudice-free working environment that values employees based on their performance. For more diversity in the workplace, we signed the Charter for Diversity Charta der Vielfalt in April 2021. The Charta der Vielfalt is an initiative to promote diversity in companies and institutions under the patronage of former German Chancellor Angela Merkel. At Klöckner & Co, diversity stands for the potential of opportunities that arise from the personalities of our employees worldwide.

We value and use the diversity of ways of thinking, experience, perspectives and lifestyles for the long-term success of the company. Based on the diversity dimensions of the Charta der Vielfalt, all employees should receive the same appreciation - regardless of age, gender and gender identity, ethnic origin and nationality, religion and world view, sexual orientation and identity or physical abilities.

As part of the Charta der Vielfalt, we are committed to:

  • cultivate an organisational culture characterised by mutual respect and appreciation. We create the foundations for managers and employees to acknowledge, share and live these values. They are in fact accorded particular responsibility to do so.

  • recognise diversity within and outside our organisation, appreciating the intrinsic potential residing in this diversity, and utilising it advantageously for our business or organisation.

  • make the content of the Charter the topic of internal and external dialogue.

More women in leadership roles – clear targets for 2030

In addition to our cultural diversity, attracting women to specialist and management positions is also an important concern for us. Since 2011, the group-wide proportion of women in management levels 1 to 3 below the Board of Management has already been increased to 15.6%. By the end of 2030, this proportion is now to be further increased to 25%. For information on the proportion of women in the first two management levels below the Management Board at Klöckner & Co SE in accordance with the German Act on Equal Participation of Women and Men in Management Positions, please refer to the relevant statements in the Annual Report (“Corporate Governance Statement” in the “Corporate Governance” section).
