GENDER DIVERSITY

In line with our aim of increasing gender diversity, we set ourselves an ambitious goal of 40% of our new recruits being women and in 2022, we exceeded this target, with 43% of our new joiners being women.

Sonnedix was ahead of the industry average of 27% women at the end of 2019, with women making up 30% of our team. Our efforts to increase gender diversity have led this figure to increase to 37% by the end of 2022 whilst the composition of our Board of Directors is 28% female, also above the sector average of 21%.

Our principle remains that we will always hire the best person for a role regardless of gender, ensuring equality of opportunity and access. The 40% goal was very challenging given women are a minority of the talent pool in nearly all functional areas and this representation also varies by geography, with women sometimes representing under 20% of the talent pool in certain jurisdictions. As such, this has involved a complete review of all aspects of the recruitment process from defining roles to onboarding.

To enhance intergenerational working, explore the aspirations of our colleagues who are new in their careers.
