DEI Dimensions

Our approach to DEI is built on a comprehensive understanding of diversity across multiple dimensions. At Vattenfall, we recognize the richness of various identities, and we embrace the following DEI dimensions to ensure every voice is heard and valued:

  • Gender & Sexual Orientation
  • Ethnicity & Worldview
  • Socio-economic Background
  • Seen & Unseen Disability
  • Age & Generations
  • Family & Relationships

By integrating these dimensions into everything we do, we create an inclusive culture that fosters innovation and growth. Our commitment to DEI extends throughout every level of the organization, empowering individuals to thrive and contribute to our shared goals.
