Safe, healthy, diverse and gender equal workforce
We want to attract the best talents across all identities and backgrounds, and offer everyone equal opportunities to succeed.
Our approach
The maritime industry has traditionally been male-dominated, and has drawn its employees from the same communities, year after year. At Stena Line, this is changing. Our moral responsibility to provide an environment where everyone is welcome, coupled with equality legislation and our belief in the economic value of diversity are driving us to recruit and retain the best talents from every background.
We want to lead the change in the maritime industry. In a sustainable future, Stena Line will be a safe, attractive and inclusive workplace which attracts the best talents across all identities and backgrounds. We will be a customer-centric business where our diverse workforce reflects all customers and has an excellent capacity to understand their needs and demands. We will be empowered people who are proud to work at Stena Line and are strengthened in our identities by equal opportunities to succeed.

Our actions
Gender equality
We are seeking opportunities to highlight women in maritime and in the Stena AB female network. We are setting up a cross-functional working group to analyse and suggest critical actions for increased gender equality across our regions.
Good health and well-being
During 2023 and 2024, we are working in collaborations with our unions to raise the two dimensions of health: physical and mental well-being. We are investigating and optimising relevant groupwide health packages. We are offering flexible working opportunities for all our people depending on role and responsibilities.
Reduce inequalities
We are introducing annual initiatives on topics such as ethnicity and skin colour, age and LGBTQIA+. We are implementing groupwide anti-harassment training, and running annual diversity and inclusion training for leaders and team members.
