In 2024, 23 graduates were part of our Global Graduate Programme, which offers young professionals opportunities to develop their personal and professional skills over a two-year journey across our entire global organisation. Talent retention efforts are focused on the business areas with the highest turnover rates. For those areas impacted by higher turnover rates, we have developed strategic initiatives to address specific challenges.

Our global recruitment platform contains embedded materials designed to prompt inclusive recruitment behaviour. Furthermore, we have expanded training in unconscious bias, inclusive leadership and psychological safety, and we have developed the capabilities of our HR leaders to drive DE&I-related topics and training locally. To support this, DE&I-specific themes of relevance for our employee performance dialogue have been part of the global process for performance dialogue since the beginning of 2023. This provides input to assess the effectiveness of our actions on DE&I, which is also evaluated through our Pulse survey, as it has specific questions regarding inclusion and fair treatment.
