Vattenfall’s continued commitment to DEI
These achievements reflect the impact of Vattenfall’s comprehensive strategy for promoting Diversity, Equity and Inclusion through its Positive Action Plan.

Additionally, over 60 events and workshops combined were organised and delivered in 2024, underscoring Vattenfall's commitment to fostering an inclusive work culture.

These efforts have placed Vattenfall among Europe’s top Diversity Leaders. In 2025, the company will build on its achievements through internal and external campaigns, focusing on raising awareness and promoting the benefits of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion for all employees. With more robust DEI legislation expected in Europe, Vattenfall will ensure compliance through comprehensive, data-driven action plans tailored to different focus areas.
