By signing the CEO statement on the Women’s Empowerment Principles (WEPs), Kontron commits to gender equality and the promotion of women in the company culture, in the workplace, and through societal initiatives. All Kontron Group companies are dedicated to creating a discrimination-free work environment, ensuring equal opportunities, fair pay, and the development of all employees.
