Equality and Diversity

Globally, just under 52,000 people (FTEs) work for voestalpine. Each and every employee is valuable on account of their individual strengths and abilities and must be respected. The fact that voestalpine’s CEO signed the company’s Diversity Charter in February 2018 underscores the Group’s approach to both diversity and equal treatment. voestalpine is committed to respecting all people with whom it has a relationship (employees, customers, business partners)—irrespective of gender, skin color, nationality, ethnicity, religion or worldview, impairment, age, sexual orientation, and identity.

This commitment and corresponding actions create a climate of acceptance and mutual trust. As laid out in the chapter “Respect and Integrity” of the voestalpine Code of Conduct, the Group does not tolerate any form of discrimination.

Differently-abled individuals

In Austria, companies with more than 25 employees are required to make jobs available for differently-abled individuals. For reasons related to data protection, outside of Austria no information is collected on employees’ potential impairment. voestalpine fulfills all statutory obligations at all of its locations in this respect.
