Diversity, equal treatment and opportunities for all
Workforce diversity helps ensure that Gabriel’s workforce
composition always fosters development and supports
Gabriel in meeting customer and market requirements.
Gabriel’s ambition is to ensure diversity in its workforce
composition throughout the Group and a working environment where everyone feels they are treated fairly
and included.
Diversity encompasses human differences and variations in educational background and level, in sex, age,
nationality, ethnicity and other important parameters.
Equality means equal access to opportunities for development, promotion, pay etc. while inclusion is about
creating a work environment where all employees feel
safe, respected and valued as part of the community.
Gabriel has processes aimed at preventing and mitigating negative impacts and promoting wellbeing and
dedication in the workforce.
Gabriel has implemented a range of activities and actions
to promote equality, diversity and an inclusive workplace.
Gabriel’s diversity policy is the foundation for the Group’s
efforts within diversity, which Gabriel understands in a
broad sense. In addition to sex, age, ethnicity etc., the policy
also covers diversity of personal and professional skills.
Gabriel understands that concepts such as diversity, discrimination, harassment and equality may be defined
and understood in different ways. Gabriel’s Group employee guide therefore defines what each term means
within the context of Gabriel and in relation to the marginalisation of individuals based on factors such as sex,
race, class, sexual orientation and physical ability. The
definitions are intended to help create a more inclusive
work environment and an understanding of the importance of this.
Links to the Code of Conduct and whistleblower policy
are included in Gabriel’s Group employee guide, on
Group HR’s onboarding site and on Gabriel’s website.
This gives all employees access to reporting severe cases
of discrimination, unequal treatment and exclusion due
to age, race, sex etc.

The definition of gender in this diversity matrix stems directly from the statutory requirements regarding gender
reporting, including the definition of gender as male/female, but does not reflect Gabriel’s attitude as Gabriel’s
diversity policy is based on a broader, more diverse understanding of gender.
DISTRIBUTION OF EMPLOYEES BY AGE GROUP
Management systems
Gabriel has incorporated actions for addressing material impacts, risks and opportunities related to its own
workforce in the Group’s management system. All companies report on these on a monthly basis and actions
are assessed through employee satisfaction surveys,
compliance training, internal audits and daily dialogue.
Resources for handling working conditions are anchored
in the collaboration between top management, local
management, HR, occupational health and safety committees and others. The objective of the actions is to
prevent and mitigate negative impacts and promote
wellbeing and dedication in the workforce.
Gabriel promotes equal opportunity, diversity and inclusion but does not have specific policy commitments
related to inclusion and/or positive action for people
from groups at particular risk of vulnerability in its own
workforce.
Facilities and flexibility
Most of Gabriel’s locations have facilities that make it
easier for persons with disabilities to move around the
company. These include accessible toilets, electronic
doors, height-adjustable desks, lifts and the possibility
of adapting their workstation etc. Flexibility can also be
tailored to the needs of the individual. Implementation
of similar actions in other Group companies, where possible, represents an opportunity for the Group.
