Diversity

The Austrian Energy Agency champions diversity across seven key dimensions: age, ethnic origin, gender, cognitive/physical impairments, religious/faith affiliation, sexual orientation, and social background. Viewing diversity as a source of enrichment, the AEA acknowledges its presence within the company, fostering more productive and inclusive teams, deeper cultural understanding, and an enhanced potential for new synergies and diverse perspectives to inform our projects.

The Austrian Energy Agency is committed to advancing gender equality, fostering an open and supportive corporate culture wherein the skills and dedication of employees are highly valued. It is therefore imperative for the Austrian Energy Agency to cultivate a workplace environment in which all genders can contribute and flourish equally, free from stereotypical assumptions that may impede progress on both individual and structural level.

The Austrian Energy Agency's GEP is intended as a guideline for implementing planned measures and is regularly expanded and refined.
 

Gender Equality Plan of the AEA / (signed version)

Language not only mirrors societal norms but also shapes our perceptions. At the Austrian Energy Agency, we actively contribute to visibility, equality, and respectful treatment of all genders through conscious language use. Recognising language's dynamic nature, we anticipate potential revisions to this guideline on non-discriminatory language in the future.

Monitoring ensures continuous observation of the current statue of gender equality within the Austrian Energy Agency. By consistently evaluating predefined indicators, we assess the effectiveness of applied measures.

Findings from monitoring activities are regularly analysed and subject to discussion, with the monitoring process continually evolving.
