Diversity, Equality and Inclusion
Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) is an integral part of our corporate ethos.
They are fundamental to our identity and our future direction. We are committed to building a workforce that
reflects the diverse communities we serve and fostering an inclusive culture where every individual can thrive.
In 2024, we reinforced our commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion by embedding it
further into our daily operations and decision-making processes. We did this through the following actions:
Tracking DEI-specific KPIs and sharing key insights across the entire business
Created DEI-focused communication materials for all employees and organised special activities to foster engagement and learning
Launched the DEI Champions Group, a network of employees dedicated to ostering inclusivity within their teams
Took concrete steps towards workplace accessibility by integrating employees with disabilities into our operations in Spain
We are lucky to have employees from many different cultures and diverse backgrounds in our companies worldwide and we value the experiences and perspectives they bring to our workplaces all year long. Our DEI Manifesto focuses on seven different pillars to ensures that all Schréder employees are with us on this journey to promote and strengthen DEI practices.
Read our DEI Manifesto
Our responsibility as a global manufacturer is to ensure that environmental and human rights principles are respected throughout our supply chain. We owe this transparency and accountability to our employees and customers.
Sustainable Procurement and Human Rights
Our goal is to protect Human Rights directly and indirectly by ensuring that
Schréder’s entities and their supply chain are safe and that workers are treated with respect and dignity.
Since 2020, we have adopted the Responsible Business Alliance (RBA) Code of Conduct
as our reference standard for human rights and environmental practices.
It sets out clear expectations to ensure safe working conditions, dignified treatment of workers
and environmentally responsible business practices throughout the global supply chain.
