The SHE Index was launched last year by the gender equality company called SHE Community. It measures how well Norwegian companies perform in gender balance and is carried out in cooperation with the advisory and auditing company EY.
“The survey represents my management team and their direct reports. For me, diversity and having talented people in the management team are paramount.

“The gender balance in the company is part of our sustainability strategy, and we are working towards the goals we have set ourselves continually.
