At Yara, we are committed to having a diverse environment where everyone grows and feels included
Our people are our greatest strength. To grow in an ever-changing environment, we need diverse perspectives and we need everyone at Yara to be their best selves. We have passionate and talented people with different perspectives who brings value to the business. We strive to attract diverse talents and also develop and retain them. Our focus is to work towards providing all our employees with a great experience and equitable access to growth opportunities.
Yara has an ambition to have 40% women in senior leadership roles by 2025. Yara has recently launched Black Leadership Development program as an initiative to increase diversity in leadership roles.
Here are a few examples that show our commitment to strengthening our Diversity, Equity and Inclusion agenda
Women in Agronomy Program
Providing development opportunities, visibility and a safe space for women
Female agronomists frequently face challenges their male counterparts are typically not experiencing, both internally and when meeting customers and distributors.
Our ''Women in Agronomy'' program was launched in late 2020, involving 60 women across all regions. Through mentoring, networking and visibility channels, the program connects emerging female talents with more experienced female colleagues, building trust and confidence.
Black Talent Initiative
Building knowledge for top leaders, making everyone reflect, and providing development opportunities for black leaders
At Yara, we not only want to create the right conditions to have conversations about race and ethnicity but to create an inclusive culture where Black Talent at Yara is fully appreciated, valued and thrives.
The ''Black Talent Initiative'' was launched in August 2020 - is not a one-off project, but rather the first step on our journey to becoming high performing racially diverse, inclusive organization.
Pride Employee Resource Group
The Pride ERG will work to grow an equitable workplace for LGBTQ+: Awareness, Safety, and Visibility. We do this by:
- Creating Awareness: Educating employees about LGBTQ+ issues, terminology and experiences. This will help combat stereotypes, biases and misconceptions and will therefore foster empathy.
- Ensuring Safety: Making all LGBTQ+ colleagues feel secure, not only at our HQ but all 60+ countries in which Yara operates.
- Promoting Visibility: Making sure we have strong LGBTQ+ representation in the workplace is about ensuring employees feel seen, heard, and valued. It helps prevent isolation and sends a powerful message that LGBTQ+ individuals belong and contribute.
