Equal treatment

Over 51,000 employees (FTE) work around the world within the voestalpine Group. Each and every employee is valuable and must be respected for their individual abilities.

With the signing of the Diversity Charter by voestalpine CEO Dr. Wolfgang Eder in February 2018, the Group demonstrated its approach toward diversity and equal treatment. voestalpine respects everyone with whom it has a relationship (employees, customers, business partners), irrespective of gender, skin color, nationality, ethnic background, religion or belief, disabilities, age, sexual orientation, and identity. This declaration and corresponding measures create a climate of acceptance and mutual trust. As laid out in the chapter on “Respect and integrity” in the voestalpine Code of Conduct, the Group does not tolerate any form of discrimination.

Persons with disabilities

In Austria, companies with more than 25 employees are required to make jobs available for persons with disabilities. For reasons relating to data protection and privacy, information about the possible disability of employees is not collected outside Austria. voestalpine fulfills all statutory obligations at all of its locations in this respect.
