Kemira has been ranked among the top ten Large Cap-listed companies in Finland in the Nordic Business Diversity Index 2025.
The Index evaluates publicly reported key diversity aspects in the Board of Directors and Executive Management teams within over 800 listed companies in Finland, Sweden, Norway, Denmark and Iceland. These aspects are educational background, age, nationality and gender diversity of the board of directors and executive leadership teams.
“We are delighted to have achieved this prestigious recognition which is a result of our long-term commitment to Diversity Equity & Inclusion and Talent Management and succession. These people and culture themes have become part of our everyday way of working and strategy execution which are enabled by digital & fair data-based decision making and transparency”, says Sandra Dillon, Kemira’s Vice President in Talent & Culture Development.
Each country had three categories, Large Cap, Mid Cap and Small Cap. Only Iceland had one category for all the companies. In the Large Cap category of Finland there were 34 companies. This year’s theme was The Future Talent. It highlights the importance of diverse leadership in shaping the future of talent and addressing key challenges like digitalization, intergenerational collaboration, and societal expectations. Kemira has its own talent program where the aim is to grow future leaders from the company’s own talent pool.
“This recognition is a testament to the work done with our board of directors, CEO and executive leadership, as well as across the company as part of our Diversity Equity & Inclusion initiatives and executing our talent management and succession philosophy of developing leaders within the company, systematic talent identification and development and succession planning, and hiring externally to strengthen our leadership bench. It nicely supports our aspiration to be in the top 10 percent of cross industry companies for Inclusion”, Dillon says.
Nordic Business Diversity Index is made by a sustainability consulting group Impaktly.
