Diversity and inclusion

Diversity is considered both in recruitment processes and in day-to-day processes. Diversity is not only about gender and age. We are also aiming to find talent from underrepresented groups. One way of reaching these groups is anonymous recruitment processes which are aimed to remove unconscious bias. This process has successfully been implemented by Bonnier Books UK and Bonnierförlagen. Over the coming years, some businesses are looking to open local hubs to better reflect the diversity of the markets they operate in.

All employees at Bonnier Books must be treated fairly and be offered equal opportunities. Salary reviews are conducted in line with local regulations in our markets and followed up by the businesses to minimise any pay inequity. Additionally, Bonnier Books UK discloses more in-depth information relating to its gender pay gap as part of its annual Diversity and Inclusion Plan.

The businesses also engage in local multi-stakeholder initiatives to strengthen their competency and develop relevant tools. For instance, WSOY joined Inklusiiv Community in 2021. The initiative gathers organisations which are aiming to build more diverse, equitable and inclusive workplaces.
