Diversity and equality
2019 RESU LTS
Diversity has many traits, such as gender, competence, age, nationality and other aspects. We acknowledge that diversity must go together with inclusion, and our efforts are directed towards making all employees feel welcomed, valued and involved. Mowi has created a global Ambassador-group for Diversity & Inclusion. The role of this group is to debate and share ideas, and to help facilitate the raising of awareness and knowledge around this topic globally.
At the end of 2019, we employed 14 866 (14 537) people in 25 countries around the world. The number of employees increased by 329 during 2019. At the close of 2019, women accounted for 39.1% of our 11 703 permanent employees, an increase by 1.3% from 2018. The ratio between genders for management positions was in 2019 female 24% and male 76%. The Group had 563 temporary employees compared with 516 in 2018.

As a part of the communications department I get to experience the whole value chain, and the people working in each part of it. My colleagues in Mowi are extremely competent and I’m grateful that I get to work with them every day.” Julianne Flølo Communications advisor & trainee
