Areas of focus
Our people
Our top priority is to work safely, look after our people’s health, and protect them from harm.
Our commitment to health and safety extends to the employees of our business partners and to the people who live nearby or visit our facilities. We aim to provide a supportive work environment in which our people feel confident sharing their ideas and trying new approaches. Their creativity is crucial to our success.
Health and safety
Maintaining high health and safety standards is a core value for us because we care about our people. Safety is also important for the operation of our facilities and enables us to avoid the additional cost of work stoppages and lost time that result from accidents.
100
% OHSAS 18001 coverage
The health and safety management systems of all Uniper’s operating entities are certified to OHSAS 18001.
1.48
Combined TRIF
Uniper has committed to reducing its combined TRIF threshold to 1.0 by 2025. Our main safety metric for management purposes is the combined total recordable incident frequency (TRIF). Combined TRIF was 1.48 in 2019 (2018: 1.47).
Fair and attractive employer
Uniper employees are key to our success. The labor market is highly competitive. This makes having a strong and attractive employer brand crucial for attracting and hiring the kind of people who can help Uniper realize its ambition to help ensure a reliable energy supply while systematically decarbonizing its portfolio.

Diversity and Inclusion
Diversity is a long-term corporate objective that we intend to achieve through the commitment of senior management and employees alike. We want to create a work atmosphere that embraces differences and in which all employees feel respected, comfortable, and included in their team.
> 95%
We've set a target of achieving an employee inclusion indicator of over 95% by 2022
This means that at least 95% of employees
say in The Voice of Uniper, our
annual
employee survey, that they feel
included
in their team.
In 2019, senior managers were encouraged to develop a Diversity and Inclusion plan for their area of responsibility and include it in their 2019 objectives.
25%
We've set a target for women to account for 25% of our high-level executives by June 2022.
At year-end 2019, 20% of these positions were held by women. We intend to reach our target for 2022 through more diverse selection and recruitment procedures, mentoring, flexible work arrangements for all employees, and similar measures. Women made up 24.6% of our workforce in total in 2019, almost unchanged from the prior-year figure of 24.2%.
