Diversity, equity and inclusion are fundamental to our success

Our strategy is designed to make everlasting change.

In a fast-changing energy market and with an ambitious goal of enabling fossil-free living we need wide-ranging perspectives to challenge us and be part of the solution.

A diverse and inclusive career at Vattenfall

Why it matters

Research and experience show that a diverse and inclusive workplace is a dynamic and stimulating one that celebrates our differences and creates a sense of belonging. This in turn means we feel more comfortable speaking up and sharing our ideas, which fosters creativity and engagement, promotes mental health and a safe workplace, and boosts performance.

Diversity of people means diversity of ideas, skills, experience and knowledge. A wider range of perspectives means we can better anticipate and meet the needs of all our customers. It stimulates greater innovation and is the basis for better decision-making.

By fully representing all members of society, we involve everyone in achieving a fossil-free future. By speaking out about the value of diversity, equity and inclusion, we influence those beyond our own organisation. By going beyond legislation, we are leading the way and being the change we want to see.


The principles guiding our approach are based on the concepts of ‘Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI)’. ‘Diversity’ reflects the unique individuals and perspectives within Vattenfall. ‘Equity’ involves actively ensuring fairness and removing barriers. ‘Inclusion’ means creating a culture where everyone feels valued and can contribute.
