The aim of increasing the percentage of women in management is to implement the principles set out in the DEI Policy, HR Policy and Code of Conduct, eliminate discrimination and promote equal opportunities. Market-based studies have shown a growing focus on the diversity dimensions of gender, ethnicity and disability. As agreed by the Management Board and Supervisory Board, AGRANA's initial focus is on the gender dimension and, consequently, on increasing the share of women in management positions. The proportion of women in supervisory roles was 28.4% in the 2024|25 financial year. It is to gradually increase to the target level of 30% by 2030.
