Diversity, inclusion and employee relations

Our workforce comprises people of different cultures, backgrounds, experiences and skills. This diversity contributes to our unique corporate culture and innovative work environment, enabling employees to thrive and realise their potential.

Employee development

Building competencies and skills and enabling internal mobility are important priorities at DSV. Equally important is our ability to attract and retain employees. We accomplish this through structured global procedures and our extensive global training programmes, which are available to all employees in our organisation. These programmes cover areas such as leadership, sales, customer service, trainee programmes and more, all supported by our own online learning platform. These resources enable our employees to achieve their personal career and development goals, which in turn enhanced the overall performance of our company. 

Employee Engagement

Our employees play an active role in shaping our culture and workplace. We have established various processes to ensure that employees are informed about strategic and employee-related initiatives, and to facilitate ongoing dialogue between management and employees. Examples of such initiatives include workers councils, targeted engagement surveys, collective bargaining and continuous performance and development dialogues. Employees can use these forums to raise concerns about working conditions, such as flexible work schedules, benefits, health and safety issues, etc. Their feedback is vital to our efforts to create an even better workplace for both current and future DSV employees.

Diversity and inclusion

We believe that a diverse workforce, where employees can realise their potential based on their unique individual backgrounds and varied perspectives, is a significant business advantage for our company.  We have formalised our approach in our Diversity and Inclusion Policy.

Diversity of the Board of Directors and Executive Management
The Board of Directors of DSV A/S comprises seven members of which three are female (43%), constituting an equal gender balance in accordance with the definitions of the Danish Gender Balance Act.

The gender composition of our Executive Management, comprising the Executive Board, Group Executive Committee and Executive Vice Presidents, is unchanged from last year, characterised by a low female representation. DSV has set a global, three-tier target for women at senior management levels by 2030.

The target reflects our ambition to build a gender-balanced talent pipeline at our highest management levels. In 2025, the proportion of female managers was 35%, which is on par with 2024 at 35%.
