Over the next six years, Stromnetz Berlin aims to increase its share of female employees in the company to 25 percent. The current figure is 21.3%. By then, half of the management team should also be women (it currently sits at 25%). The goal for female trainees is 20 percent (2022: 5.8%). The company has documented this in its promotion plan for women for 2023 to 2029 as part of its diversity efforts. The plan includes a catalogue of concrete steps, from the type of job advertisements issued to work-life balance, and training and development planning.                                                     

In the lead-up to 2029, Stromnetz Berlin has set itself the interim target of having 23 percent women in the workforce and 35 percent in management, as well as 10 percent female trainees for 2025.
