The Board of Directors i Danske Hoteller A/S has adopted this diversity policy in accordance with the company's statement on good corporate governance.

Danske Hoteller A/S regards diversity as an important prerequisite for new thinking and development of the company, so that the company can benefit from the combined potential of both the board members, the day-to-day management (management) and the employees.

The company perceives diversity as a composition and combination of different competencies, gender, life stages, ethnic and educational backgrounds, etc., where all elements together are a resource that can actively contribute to the business' development and contribute significantly to being an attractive workplace.

2. Purpose

The policy has a purpose

  • to ensure focus on and, if necessary, strengthen diversity, including the proportion of the underrepresented gender, on the Board of Directors, on the Executive Board and at other management levels.
  • to describe the competencies that are deemed necessary and relevant in connection with the composition of the Board of Directors
  • to provide equal career opportunities and equal conditions regardless of gender, age, ethnic origin, disability, sexual orientation or religion, but where qualifications will always be the deciding factor.
  • to contribute to Danske Hoteller A/S is an attractive workplace.

3. Composition of the Board of Directors and the management

The overall goal is that there is an appropriate equal distribution of men and women in management. We select employees and managers on the basis of qualifications and previous results and not on the basis of gender.

The board consists of 6 members, including one woman. The goal is for the underrepresented gender to make up at least 1/3 of the members.

The Executive Board has 4 members, 2 women and two men.

The operating committee has 7 members, 3 of whom are women.

The group management - the large management group - has a fairly equal distribution of men and women.

4. The board's competencies

In the composition, the board as a team should have competencies and experience from the following areas:

  • Strategy
  • Organization
  • Hotel operation
  • Economics and Finance
  • Risk management
  • Sales, marketing and communication
  • Management and HR
  • Listed companies
  • Good corporate governance

When recruiting new board members, the starting point is that the above-mentioned competencies are covered by the board, just as continuing education can be considered as a tool to achieve an efficient working board. The Board of Directors and the Executive Board have a mutual responsibility to keep each other up to date with new forms of management and initiatives.
