During 2023, we achieved our target of having 50% female leaders in the Group management team. In addition, we have many women at every level across the business who are responsible for making important decisions about how we operate.

We know that there is still some way to go, and there are still areas within Stena Line where female leaders are in the minority. However, we hope that our continued efforts will see more brilliant female role models joining our teams at every level of the business.

As part of our commitment to making sure everyone feels safe and welcome at Stena Line, we run regular training for managers on how to prevent and tackle harassment, bullying and victimisation.

Although COVID-19 prevented us from holding face-to-face training in 2021, we were still able to run three crucial anti-harassment sessions for shore and onboard managers.

Using Microsoft Teams, the training combined presentations and role-play exercises to help managers create an environment where everyone feels safe.
