We strive for diverse, equal, and inclusive (DEI) professional lives for all. We expect all our employees to treat each other and our broad stakeholder network with respect. 

Diversity, Inclusion and Equity are strongly linked to our business performance as a sports and outdoor company. It is a core enabler of our common employee engagement strategy and an expectation from employees. We value diverse perspectives— they make us more creative and innovative, enhancing competitiveness and growth. We are committed to creating an inclusive, respectful workplace free from discrimination or harassment, where everyone can thrive as their authentic selves and have equal opportunities.

A refreshed Diversity, Inclusion and Equity framework for Amer Sports was launched in 2024 to further develop diversity, equal opportunities, and inclusion. The framework provides common focus areas and requirements across Amer Sports. Our brands and functions are responsible for the implementation of the framework, tailored to their business-specific material topics and needs.

Our commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion in the workplace

We expect all our employees to be aware of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI)—as stated in our Code of Conduct. Together, we ensure and maintain work environments that are free from harassment and inappropriate behavior. As part of the Code of Conduct training, all Amer Sports’ employees learn about DEI matters.

We embrace our global community of more than 13,000 people who represent many nationalities and cultures. We value different perspectives—they make us more creative and innovative, which contributes to our competitiveness and growth. We ensure that no one is treated differently because of their ethnicity, race, religion, political opinions, age, nationality, gender, disability, or sexual orientation. We foster an inclusive work environment based on respect and collaboration where everyone can be their authentic selves and have equal opportunities to participate, contribute, and succeed. We acknowledge we have work to do to advance diversity and inclusion to unlock our full potential to elevate the world through sport.

In our DEI work we focus on:

1. the share of underrepresented genders across all organizational levels.
2. diversity in terms of different backgrounds, including but not limited to industrial experience and education.
3. employee awareness of diversity and inclusion.
4. equal opportunities for continuous development and learning for all employees.
5. equal pay for similar work with greater transparency.
6. inclusive principles in our ways of working.
