Gender Equality
SDG 5 is designed to counter discrimination and violence against woman and girls. It calls for gender equality and full participation in political, economic and social decision processes – and is also directed to promoting equal access to education, healthcare and other fundamental social services. Gender equality and diversity are of fundamental importance for EHL. We are committed to achieving an equal share of women and men at all levels of our company. The EHL workforce currently includes 148 women, who represent 67.3 % of the total staff. Apparently, qualified women see us as an attractive employer and trust our organisation.
Highly qualified women currently hold 66 % of our management positions. This clearly shows how seriously we take diversity in our decision processes. Moreover, women head three of our five subsidiaries. We are also committed to maintaining a balanced distribution of genders in our company in the future. This is reflected in our constant efforts in support of a diverse and integrative working environment with numerous opportunities for advancement. Our plans include the expansion of the parental leave model for both genders and the improvement of re-integration after parental leave and part-time return to work.
