    Diversity and Inclusivity

    EQUALITY – DIVERSE ORGANIZATION PROVES THAT PROFESSIONAL QUALIFICATIONS ARE VALUED FAIRLY

    Aspire Global Group is convinced that diversity on the one hand drives innovation, and on the other hand is an indicator of a well-functioning recruitment process where personal preferences, cultural background, gender or physical disabilities don’t stand in the way of professional judgment of the relevant qualifications. Against this backdrop, Aspire Global is proud to have employees from 43 nationalities, bringing together a variety of cultural backgrounds, perspectives and skills and reflecting the diversity of our players. In 2021, women accounted for 31% of the Company’s employees. The CEO and sustainability committee are taking measures to create change, aiming for a 40/60 distribution on every management level, including promotions. 2021 saw a slight negative change in gender balance, which is mostly due to Aspire Global’s focus on product development and technology roles.
