Purpose In accordance with the Recommendations of Corporate Governance, the Board of Directors of DSV A/S has established a Diversity & Inclusion Policy which describes our standpoint and approach to diversity and inclusion. In line with our Code of Conduct, DSV recognises and supports equal human rights and is against discrimination, differential treatment, harassment, inappropriate or unreasonable interference with work performance and similar in employment and working conditions. Our global presence in more than 90 countries means that we have a multi-faceted and diverse employee workforce, and our global reach and local presence bring together people from a multitude of backgrounds, all with different skills and experience. In line with our global values and leadership promise, we therefore know that a key word in fostering and maintaining diverse and inclusive workplaces is respect – respect for the individual and being respectful in the way we work together. We genuinely believe that having a diverse workforce, where employees can realise their potential based on their different individual backgrounds and thought diversity is a significant business advantage that we as a company can leverage upon. A diverse workforce in an inclusive culture fosters dynamic workplaces and, ultimately, better business decisions. Diversity & Inclusion in DSV Diversity is the visible and invisible differences between people, including, but not limited to, gender, racial, cultural, national and occupational background, sexual preference, age, disability, religion and political opinion. It also refers to diverse ways of thinking and ways of working. Being inclusive is to recognise and accept the uniqueness of each individual – and to put that uniqueness before any visible and invisible traits and social identities that people carry with them. Inclusion is also about removing obstacles and barriers so that current and future employees have equal opportunities in the organisation, regardless of the traits described above. In order to become an even more diverse company, DSV has selected a number of focus areas, summarised below. The focus areas also work in support of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal number 10, aiming to reduce inequalities. Gender distribution Building on our general approach to diversity as outlined above, a dedicated focus on gender and on achieving a balanced gender distribution in our organisation remains high on our agenda. We aim to obtain a more balanced gender ratio in the DSV Group, also at senior management levels. 2
