Material topics of the sustainability strategy: Employees

Respecting rights, creating opportunities for development

The high level of commitment and willingness of our employees to always learn are key factors for the success of the SMA Group. We are committed to internationally recognized labor standards and create a safe and non-discriminatory working environment where all employees can freely thrive and develop their talents.

Health and safety

The primary goal of our occupational health and safety strategy is to prevent serious accidents at work. With our strategic targets, we have committed ourselves to shaping working conditions in such a way that risks to life and limb of the company's employees are excluded. To this end, we create a working environment in which occupational health and safety is lived at all levels and is therefore an integral part of operational processes.

The occupational health and safety processes at our headquarters in Germany have been certified according to ISO 45001 since 2018.

Diversity, equity & inclusion

We see the diversity of our workforce as an enrichment for our company. We strongly believe that diversity fosters collaboration and plays an important role in the financial success of companies. Our DE&I concept includes the following four pillars:

  • Create awareness: We promote a strong awareness of diversity, equality and inclusion by continuously raising awareness among employees.

  • Leadership culture: By anchoring DE&I in the management culture of the SMA Group, we transform mindsets and create DE&I-compliant behavior.

  • Strengthening equitable processes and structures: By reviewing our processes for equal opportunities, we ensure that our commitment to DE&I is lived along the entire employee lifecycle.

  • Promotion and retention of female employees: By specifically promoting and retaining female talent, we create equal opportunities and introduce a variety of perspectives.
