The promotion of women in management positions is a focus not only at ECKART GmbH, but at ALTANA as a whole.

At the ALTANA level, this promotion of diversity has been further anchored in human resources management by intensifying measures already introduced in the past and also with new instruments. One focus is the promotion of women through personnel development measures. In ALTANA's national and international management development programs, the proportion of women has been significantly increased in recent years. Furthermore, the continuing education program also includes special offers for women. A mentoring program was newly introduced.

In addition, various informal platforms were created to generally intensify the dialog on this topic. These include regular meetings of women in management positions to strengthen the network and other events designed to generate contributions to the continuous improvement of the framework conditions for the working environment at ALTANA.
