Inclusive and safe work environment

Diversity and safety are never-ending jobs, and the challenge lies in staying focused on the issue by routinely conducting various kinds of activities to ensure that the subject remains top of mind.

A few years ago, Munters set a goal that 30 percent of both employees and managers will be women by 2025. All aspects of diversity are equally important, but since we saw that the percentage of women in the company was low (only 16 percent when measurements began in 2016), management chose to focus on gender equality first.

Safety work at our production facilities has been a more important focus in recent years. All accidents have been routinely reported to Group Management since the end of 2018 with a clear analysis of the accident itself, what caused it and what needs to change to ensure that a similar accident does not occur.

Community involvement

We work with other actors to attract both customers and workers. Many of the projects create a sense of community and pride among our employees, which also creates value for Munters. Examples of activities that are routinely conducted at our facilities include participation in various types of job fairs organized by schools, collaboration with schools where we offer benefits such as mentoring and project work, open houses for members’ families and various forms of support for sports clubs and relief organizations.

Munters regularly holds activities in its local workplaces to promote education and mentorship.
We are convinced that diversity leads to greater innovation and higher profitability. Munters currently has a relatively low proportion of female employees. We have therefore decided to focus on gender equality mainly.
In every country and area where Munters works, it is essential that we have an inclusive workplace with decent conditions for all.
