Law on Equal Participation

In accordance with the “Law on Equal Participation of Women and Men in Leadership Positions”, Beiersdorf AG is required by law to set targets for the percentage of women on the first two senior management levels below the Executive Board, including periods for achieving these targets. For the Supervisory Board of Beiersdorf AG, a statutory minimum percentage of 30% female and male members applies; for the Executive Board, a statutory minimum requirement of at least one woman and one man applies. In addition to this, as part of its diversity concept for the Executive Board and the Supervisory Board, the Supervisory Board also sets a voluntary target for the proportion of women on these boards in each case.

Regarding the percentage of women on our Supervisory Board the Executive Board and the first two senior management levels, the current targets are as follows:

We will make the status quo of target achievement publicly available here on our website and in the Corporate Governance Statement in fiscal year 2026.

In line with our “Beiersdorf Gender Parity Ambition” announced in March 2021, we commit to achieving 50:50 gender parity across all management levels (management levels 1-4) in the Consumer Business by 2025. This gender parity was achieved earlier than planned: As of September 2023, 50.3% of management positions worldwide were held by women.

In the Consumer Business Segment, Beiersdorf Manufacturing Hamburg GmbH is required by law alongside Beiersdorf AG to set targets for the share of women on the Supervisory Board and Managing Director level, as well as on the two most senior management levels below the Managing Directors.

The target percentages and compliance periods for achieving the share of women are currently as follows:
 

  _{*Beiersdorf Manufacturing GmbH employs only one Managing Director. At the time of stetting the target, this position was held by a man; currently it is held by a woman.}

We will announce the achievement of these targets on this webpage in fiscal year 2025 at the latest.
