Working at Flügger

Flügger is a down-to-earth and informal workplace with high ambitions—not only for our products but also for what each of us contributes as employees.

It is important to us that you, as an employee, continuously develop your skills and capabilities. Our employees are the core of Flügger and essential to our success.

We expect you not only to identify opportunities but also to act on them – leveraging both your internal and external networks. Yes, we certainly have high expectations, but we trust that you can meet them and take responsibility. Because when you grow, Flügger grows.

Diversity Policies

At Flügger, we believe that a diverse workplace and an inclusive work environment are valuable assets. We recognize and appreciate the differences among our employees, knowing that diverse teams—including leadership groups—drive innovation, make better decisions, and foster new ways of thinking. At the same time, diversity promotes openness and tolerance among our employees, strengthening our overall work culture.

Career Development

Your development is a prerequisite for us at Flügger to achieve our business goals, which is why we prioritize career development at all levels of the company.

A significant part of your development is your own responsibility. We expect you to take initiative and pursue tasks that challenge you—where the bar is set high, and you may need to stretch to deliver great results. We also count on you to act on the opportunities you identify. In return, you can expect your colleagues to actively provide feedback and coaching, helping you grow from task to task.

At Flügger, we have structured our internal training under the Flügger Academy, where we focus on strengthening and educating leadership across all levels of the company. Our goal is to build a dynamic and learning organization by developing skilled leaders who can foster motivation, engagement, and ensure that employees reach their full potential.

To support this, we have developed a Talent Management program designed to provide both leaders and employees with the necessary tools to achieve the best possible results.

We understand that no two employees have the same development needs. That’s why we emphasize the importance of each employee creating a development plan in collaboration with their manager. This plan serves as a proactive guiding tool rather than a document that is only reviewed once a year during performance evaluations.

Diversity Policy in Flügger’s Leadership Team:

Goals and Results 2024/2025

In accordance with Section 107d of the Danish Financial Statements Act, Flügger has defined diversity targets for the composition of the group’s Board of Directors, Executive Board, and overall workforce.

Board of Directors

When appointing the members in Flügger group A/S elected by the general meeting, we focus on both diversity and the individual members’ competencies and experience. Our goal is to ensure gender balance and a broad skill set aligned with the company’s core and strategic priorities.

We have defined specific targets for gender representation and independence on the Board:

  • We aim for the underrepresented gender to constitute at least 40% of the shareholder-elected board members (40/60%). In 2024/25, the Board consisted of one woman and three men, or 25/75%. According to the Danish Business Authority, this qualifies as gender balance.
  • At least half of the shareholder-elected board members must be independent under the Danish Recommendations on Corporate Governance. This requirement was met in 2024/25, with two out of four members classified as independent.

Management

The management of Flügger group A/S consists of three members: the CEO, CFO, and majority shareholder Ulf Schnack, who has been actively involved in the company since 1958.

Flügger has chosen not to define specific diversity targets for the management. This is because we prioritise insight, experience and relevant competencies when appointing executive members.

Other Management

Flügger aims for a gender composition in other management levels and the overall workforce where the underrepresented gender constitutes at least 40% (40/60%), aligning with the objective for the composition of the Board of Directors.

Flügger’s recruitment principles and guidelines further support Flügger’s diversity objectives and policy.

What we do:

We continuously strive to ensure diversity both at the leadership level and across all employee groups.

Our efforts are based on the following principles:

  • Flügger is a workplace that offers equal opportunities for all in a safe and non-discriminatory work environment.
  • We aim for a minimum of 40 % representation of each gender in our leadership roles and focus on fair and inclusive recruitment.
  • We comply with national and international standards on human rights and equality, and ensure fair employment conditions regardless of gender, ethnicity, religion or other personal traits.
  • We strive for equal pay for equal work, regardless of gender or other characteristics.
  • We do not tolerate bullying, sexual harassment, discrimination or offensive behaviour, and we actively prevent it through regular employee training.
  • We seek a diverse workforce of both young and experienced employees who can inspire and support our shared development.
  • The Board of Directors reviews the diversity policy at least once a year and updates it as needed.

What we believe in:

At Flügger, we believe that a diverse workplace and an inclusive work environment are valuable assets. We recognize and value individual differences and believe that diverse teams – including leadership – drive innovation, make better decisions and foster openness and tolerance across the organisation.

Flügger is committed to being a responsible employer. We recruit, promote and develop employees based on their skills and in a manner that supports diversity. This includes ensuring equal treatment regardless of gender, gender identity, social origin, sexual orientation, age, nationality, physical ability, disability, political beliefs, ethnicity, family status, religious beliefs or other ideologies.

In accordance with Section 107f of the Danish Financial Statements Act, we report annually on gender distribution in the Board of Directors and leadership levels in our annual report. For further data, please refer to our latest annual report here.
