Career paths for women

We are committed to getting more women into management positions!

To this end, we offer programs that promote equality and foster respectful interaction. We consider professional qualifications irrespective of gender. Both the company and our employees benefit from the fact that we make the best possible use of the skills of all genders in the spirit of modern leadership. After all, success can only be achieved together.

We actively shape change and are committed to our female employees. 

Feel free to get an idea of our decisive values

We are convinced that management teams composed of different genders can contribute in a special way to corporate culture and diversity in management. 

FORWARD is the Group's internal personnel development program with which we particularly encourage and support employees in the Salzgitter Group to actively plan and advance their careers. Our mentoring program is aimed specifically at women. Together with the mentors, personal and professional competences are worked out, potential analyses are carried out and possible paths to the management levels of our Group are pointed out. 

You can find voices on the mentoring program in our career blog.

For the period after September 30, 2015, the Board of Management has set a target of 11% for the proportion of women in the first management level below the managing directors and a target of 17% for the proportion of women in the second management level below the managing directors. These percentages were to be achieved by June 30, 2017.

The shareholders' meeting passed the following resolutions on August 27, 2015:

1. the management board currently consists of four managing directors, including one woman. No change and thus no increase in the proportion of women will be sought by June 30, 2017. In the event of a replacement becoming necessary in the future, women will be considered equally as before.

The Supervisory Board currently consists of nine male members. The current composition ensures appropriate Supervisory Board work. For this reason, no change and thus no proportion of women will be sought until June 30, 2017. In the event of a replacement becoming necessary in the future, women will be considered on an equal footing as before.
