Diversity and equal treatment

Diversity is not just a catchword in the Company, but an accepted everyday reality. Diversity and individuality are seen as enriching, both for customer contact and internal cooperation, and make a key contribution to the continuous development and improvement of Vienna Insurance Group products and internal processes.

These considerations also extend to the important area of equal treatment for men and women in terms of remuneration, application procedures and career opportunities. This fundamental value has also been incorporated into the VIG HR guidelines.

Approximately 60% of the employees in the Group are women. 20% of VIG’s top operational positions in Europe are held by women. In some companies, the proportion of women in managing board positions is considerably higher. In Wiener Städtische, the largest company in the Group, for example, the figure is 40%. The same percentage is true for the VIG management positions just below the Managing Board held by women.
