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 gender equality. The company has an open and positive corporate culture in which the skills and commitment of employees represent a very high corporate value. It is therefore particularly important for the Austrian Energy Agency to create a working environment in which all genders can contribute and develop equally and in which there are no stereotypical assumptions that could have a restrictive effect on an individual and structural level.

The Austrian Energy Agency's GEP is intended as a guideline for the implementation of the planned measures and is regularly expanded and supplemented.

Gender Equality Plan

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.
