Society and people
We believe employee engagement is the foundation of business success. A diverse and inclusive workplace unlocks innovation. Fostering a workplace culture that recognizes different viewpoints, promotes collaboration, and supports opportunities for personal growth creates value for our customers’ businesses and our own. Employee health and well-being are essential, and we aim to achieve a zero-accident workplace. Through collaborative efforts, we actively contribute to the betterment of our local communities.
Employee relations and dialogue
At Munters, we build our employee relations on trust, transparency, and early involvement. We keep open talks with workers' councils, unions, and employee representatives. This helps us include their views in our decisions. Regular feedback, like our annual Employee Voice Survey, helps improve teams. It also supports a culture of ongoing development.
Ongoing communication, training, and engagement across all levels contribute to a collaborative and inclusive workplace environment.
Health and safety
We promote a culture of safety excellence through strong leadership, education, and proactive initiatives across all organizational levels. Our commitment includes systematic risk assessments, incident reporting, and continuous improvement through programs like the Safety Training Observation Program (STOP).
We follow international standards. Several of our sites are certified under ISO9001, ISO14001, and ISO45001. We aim for triple certification at all our manufacturing sites.
Through clear responsibilities, local accountability, and wellness support, we prioritize the health and safety of every employee.
Diversity, inclusion and belonging
We are committed to fostering a diverse and inclusive workplace. We want everyone—no matter their gender, ethnicity, age, disability, sexual orientation, or background—to feel valued, respected and a sense of belonging.
We actively track and promote diversity, tying leadership gender diversity goals to our Long-Term Incentive Program. Our efforts are supported by inclusive recruitment practices, unconscious bias training, employee resource groups, and clear anti-discrimination policies. Defined targets and regular reviews help drive accountability and continuous improvement.
Our ambition is to raise the proportion of women in both the workforce and leadership roles to 30% by 2030. We are happy that our progress is monitored by the Allbright Alliance, an independent foundation established in 2012 that assesses gender representation in executive management. Having reached gender parity in our management team (50% are women), Munters has been included in Allbright’s "green stock exchange" list.
Human rights
We are committed to responsible business practices including upholding respect for human rights throughout our operations and value chain. We regularly assess potential human rights risks across our activities and business relationships. This includes risks related to forced labor, child labor, poor working conditions, and discrimination, to support preventive action and avoid contributing to adverse impacts.
We expect the same high ethical standards and responsible conduct from our business partners and all other relationships. Respect for people, fair treatment, and ethical behavior are integral to how we manage risks, make decisions, and operate globally.
Career and work-life balance
We support employee growth through clear goal setting, continuous feedback, and meaningful career dialogues. Our development process includes regular check-ins and talent planning. We also offer chances to build skills that match personal and professional goals. We provide many learning experiences, such as the Learn to Learn and I ACT global programs. These include e-learning, mentorship, specialized training, and leadership development. Our goal is to help our people grow. We want them to lead with innovation, accountability, collaboration, and trust.
To support work-life balance and gender fairness, we encourage fair use of family leave. This includes maternity, paternity, and parental leave, based on local rules. Tools like Workday help us enhance engagement and provide ongoing access to learning and development resources.
