Inspiring support for International Women's Day across Carlsberg

On International Women’s Day 2024, we invited our colleagues to join a virtual session to hear from different speakers on actions we can all take to reach our target.

Over the one and a half hour session, senior leaders from Carlsberg and guest experts led discussions that highlighted:

• the importance of setting targets to pursue gender equality
• the role of the UN’s Women’s Empowerment Principles
• progress already made by Carlsberg in advancing gender equality at senior levels

Speakers included Jacob Aarup-Andersen, CEO; Julie Folmer-Niemann, Global Head of DE&I; and Majken Schultz, Chair of the Carlsberg Foundation and Deputy Chair of the Supervisory Board. They were also joined by Suwatthi Kandiah, a representative from the UN Global Compact.

This session gave an in-depth and inspiring perspective on how careers in leadership at Carlsberg can be a force for good in accelerating gender equality. Taking this time to set out pragmatic steps to reach our goals has been instrumental in empowering people to act.
