TARGET

By 2025, we will improve upon our baseline of being an inclusive and diverse company, ensuring that we are representative of the societies and communities we operate within.

Sustainable Development Goals

As part of our diversity agenda, we believe in gender equality and will strive to achieve this at Avantium. In 2019, 29% of Avantium’s Management Team, 25% of our Leadership Teams and 33% of our Supervisory Board were women. The chemical industry is currently underrepresented by women across all levels of organisations. Avantium compares favourably against the industry average but we know that there is still a lot to do across all levels of the company to achieve gender parity and equality.

First Moves and Next Steps:

Refine Diversity and Inclusion company statement and enhance awareness.
Map diversity (gender, age, nationality) in our main talent pipelines to understand what it means to reflect society.
Define short (1-3 years), medium (up to 5 years) and long term (up to 10 years) company diversity targets.
Factor gender criteria into attracting, retention, and succession planning and other HR processes.
Report gender, age and nationality diversity and include in our company KPI reporting.
Conduct diversity and inclusion and/or unconscious bias training for Line Managers and recruiters.
Work with student workstream to encourage a better gender balance studying STEM subjects.
