Diversity and Inclusion - Vattenfall UK

Only a diverse mix of individuals can make fossil free living happen together. We as a company are dependent on thinkers, makers, builders, partners,

solvers, producers and supporters – motivated individuals who bring their specific talent and release their superpowers into the team.

Diversity Who we are

We differ in gender identity, sexual orientation, education, age, cultural heritage, ethnicity, experience, family status, beliefs, religion and perspectives.

InclusionAnd how we behave

Is about feeling valued and able to contribute. Inclusion is when everyone feels part of the team.

Climate smarter living is powered by diversity

We build on the fact that diverse teams can outperform homogeneous teams. But we can only unleash and leverage the power of diversity if we make everybody feel included.
