Gender equality and diversity

In line with increased internationalisation of Statkraft, we strive for a higher percentage of female employees and increased diversity among our employees. In 2009, the percentage of women was 22, and the Group's employees represent 38 nationalities.

22 per cent women

22 per cent of Statkraft’s employees are women, and 30 per cent of the new employees in 2009 were women. The percentage of women in management positions is 23 per cent. None of the five members of the Group management are women. The percentage of women on the board of directors is 44, and three out of six shareholder-elected representatives and one of three employee representatives are women. The average salary for women is 94 per cent of the average salary for men, reflecting the fact that Statkraft has more men than women in senior positions.

More diversity in the Group

As of 31 December 2009, the Group had employees in 19 countries, representing 38 nationalities. More diversity among the company's employees will strengthen us in our international development, for example by providing us with necessary expertise as regards legal matters and administration processes, language and local customs.

The average age among Statkraft's employees is 45 years. Average lenght of service is 12 years, while the employee turnover was 2.3 per cent in 2009.
