Diversity

Executive Board Chairman Dr. Stefan Schulte

What does diversity mean for an airport operator?

“Where else does diversity in people’s origin and thinking occur more than at an airport? We at Fraport experience this kind of diversity day by day in our employees, customers, partners and the men and women living in the neighborhood of the airport.”
"We take advantage of their rich experience, perspectives and capacities in our daily encounters and use them as a basis for our corporate decisions. Diversity is an important success factor that enriches the corporate culture”.

Diversity Management Representative Ms. Anne Schwindling

What does Fraport's Diversity Management do?

“Embracing diversity - that is our credo at Fraport. To do justice to the importance of the subject, Fraport has created a Diversity Management headed by myself as its representative to ensure “diversity and general equal treatment”
"We are advising the Executive Board, managers and business divisions to balance and support the diversity of the employees even better and to put it to work to achieve increased economic success. Fraport tolerates no discriminations, disadvantages or harassments on the basis of the characteristics outlined in the German General Equal Treatment Act. We want to promote a working environment shaped by freedom from discrimination, equal opportunities and diversity. It is, therefore, crucial to promote a respectful interaction and cooperative behavior at the workplace."

Diversity at Fraport

Numerous studies have shown that mixed male and female management teams benefit business. Fraport therefore aims to appoint more women to executive roles. The goal is to appoint a minimum proportion of 30 percent of women to senior management roles.

The current figures show that we ended the 2021 fiscal year with 27.1 percent of women at the first and second reporting levels of the Group (at Frankfurt Airport), meaning that we have not yet achieved our target.

An extended package of measures and the new Group-wide program “Empowering Leaders” are shining a light on female employees in particular to encourage them to apply for executive roles.

Male employees and fathers in management are also being supported – if they want to take on more family responsibility, for instance.

These initiatives promote and strengthen not just diversity at Fraport AG, but our entire corporate culture.
