Building on successful initiatives like Norway's 'Ladies of NEP,' we are launching a global women's network to empower female talent and promote gender diversity across all levels of our organization.

We aim to create an inclusive working culture that respects and values differences whilst encouraging individuals to contribute their best.

We commit to supporting talented people from any background to meet their potential at all levels of the company.
