Local market understanding is a key success factor for ASSA ABLOY, as the company is characterized by its geographical expansion and new market development.
With its Code of Conduct and Gender Diversity Policy as a foundation, ASSA ABLOY systematically works with gender balance at all levels throughput the Group.
Today, ASSA ABLOY works on increasing diversity and gender balance by:
- Making efforts to increase the percentage of women participating in ASSA ABLOY's leadership and development programs
- Promoting a diverse workforce with a good understanding of local markets.
- Focusing on the recruitment process – ASSA ABLOY gives priority to the underrepresented gender in connection with recruitment (provided the candidates' qualifications are equal)
- Making efforts to have one candidate from the underrepresented gender on the shortlist in each recruitment situation.
