Reduced Inequalities SDG 10 aims to reduce inequalities within and among countries. The goal is to achieve inclusive societies throughout the world which guarantee equal opportunity and social equity. The following measures are required to meet this goal: increased income, also for the lower population levels; improved access to basic services and resources for all; zero tolerance for discrimination based on gender, age, special needs, ethnic origin or financial status. At EHL, we value diversity because it leads to more innovative solutions. We promote a culture of inclusion and equal opportunity so every employee can realise his or her full potential. Applications are evaluated without bias based on know- how. Gender, age, religion, origin, sexual orientation, skin colour or impairment have no influence on the selection process . That not only strengthens our corporate culture, but also protects our long-term economic success. Twenty-two languages are represented in EHL. This reflects the diversity in our company and also forms the basis for lively intercultural communication. We also believe in the importance of ensuring the representation of all age groups (< 30, 30 to 50 and > 50) in all hierarchy levels at EHL. That provides an ideal setting for the valuable exchange of experience, perspectives and ideas as well as the development of a dynamic, innovative corporate culture.
Sustainable Cities and Communities “Making cities and settlements inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable“ is a goal we definitely support. We are also committed to improving living conditions, to the expansion of sustainable mobility, the preservation of our cultural heritage, the provision of affordable housing and attractive public spaces. EHL contracted with 692 suppliers in 2022 to provide the necessary services for properties in Austria. Their qualifications were reviewed at length and in advance by our supplier management. Documentation like the master data sheet, excerpt from the company register, business license and business liability insurance were submitted. An evaluation to prevent fictional suppliers was and is mandatory. Our ISO 9001 certificate confirms the effectiveness of our quality management system. Especially in smaller communities, we rely on regional businesses located at short distances. That reduces emissions and also protects our customers’ budgets.
