Our inclusion and diversity goals

We have 4 key Inclusion & Diversity goals. These goals ensure that we are making progress in our Inclusion & Diversity efforts and that we are all moving in the same direction. Our commitment to diversity extends beyond words; it's embedded in our actions:

We proactively seek various talent in our hiring efforts, ensuring equal opportunities for all candidates through fair and unbiased practices.
We also provide continuous training and development opportunities to our employees. Personal development creates an inclusive environment where every individual can thrive and advance in their careers.
We're resolute in achieving pay equity, ensuring all employees are compensated fairly and without bias.
We regularly assess our progress, holding ourselves accountable for meeting our diversity and inclusion goals and continuously improving our efforts.

Why Diversity & Inclusion matters to us

Diversity is not a peripheral concern but an integral part of who we are. Our core values are grounded in respect, inclusivity, and the genuine appreciation of differences. Here's why diversity is so vital to us:

Fostering innovation

Diverse teams are a wellspring of fresh ideas and innovation. When people from various backgrounds collaborate, the intersection of different perspectives often sparks groundbreaking solutions. We understand that it's in this diversity of thought where the most profound insights emerge, leading to transformative breakthroughs.

Inclusion isn't just about headcount—it's about ensuring that every voice is heard and valued. By embracing diversity, we cultivate an environment where employees feel comfortable expressing their views. This leads to better decision-making as it involves a wider range of perspectives. The result: well-considered choices that ultimately benefit both our company and our customers.

Employee Satisfaction

A diverse and inclusive workplace isn't just good for business; it's vital for our employees' well-being and job satisfaction. We take pride in nurturing an environment where each team member feels valued, respected, and supported. Our commitment to diversity is evident in our high employee retention rates and overall job satisfaction levels.

We make a positive impact through "Water for All," our primary community engagement initiative. This initiative is founded by Atlas Copco Group employes and Leybold therefore is part of it as well. Through the unwavering dedication of our volunteering employees, we support projects that provide clean drinking water, sanitation, and hygiene to empower people.

Every employee donation is generously matched by Atlas Copco Group, doubling the impact of our collective efforts. “Water of All” has been making a difference since 1984 and is represented in over 50 countries.
