Our Commitment to Diversity, Equity & Inclusion

At Carlsberg, we pride ourselves on being Purpose-led and Performance driven in everything we do. Our diverse perspectives, unique abilities and experiences don’t just drive our Performance, they make us who we are across the Group.

With so many iconic brands, we know our differences are what make us stand out. And while we are different, we are unified by our shared Purpose: Carlsberg should be a force for good, dedicated to brewing for a better today and tomorrow.

From our Founder, J.C. Jacobsen, and the Founders of our many other local brands, to our 38,000 vibrant and diverse employees from across the Group, each one of us contributes to our rich and unique culture.

WELCOME YOU is our commitment to nurturing this culture and embracing it across all areas of our business.

WELCOME YOU addresses Diversity, Equity & Inclusion with candid conversations and tangible actions. By committing to transparency about our progress and sharing our learnings.

WELCOME YOU commits to doing this with fairness, honesty and kindness, by sharing stories, listening and always being curious. Carlsberg is a place where each of us belongs and where we can be at our best.

We join forces together in our commitment to WELCOME YOU.

In 2022, we defined time-bound representation targets

  • Diversity in our workforce is a prerequisite for harvesting diverse experiences and perspectives

    We believe that getting the gender balance right will pave the way for more diverse representation. As a part of our Sail ’27 ambitions and to hold ourselves accountable,, we have set time-bound targets for the share of women in senior leadership roles. Our target is to reach a share of 30% women in senior leadership roles overall by the end of 2024, 35% by 2027 and a minimum of 40% over time. We require diversity in all recruitments and promotions, in both the shortlisting and offer stages.

OUR APPROACH TO FOSTERING AN INCLUSIVE ENVIRONMENT

At Carlsberg Group, we recognise that diversity is found in any social identity such as gender, age, culture, ethnicity, physical abilities, political and religious beliefs, sexual orientation, and other attributes. We strive to create and sustain an atmosphere that actively embraces diversity and that fosters inclusion, ensuring that people are completely at ease to be their true selves when they come to work at Carlsberg.
Our aspiration for Diversity & Inclusion (D&I) is anchored in four pillars, which guide our approach and support the integration of D&I into our core people processes, where relevant and possible.
