Doing Better

& Looking to the Future

Zalando has set an ambitious commitment to drive gender diversity within its tech job families.

With the goal of creating a more balanced workforce, Zalando has challenged itself to increase the representation of women in tech roles. The Reskilling Program in 2022 is one such example, offering women at Zalando an opportunity to take part in specialist training and start tech-focused jobs. We have supported 20 colleagues who identify as women to choose a new career in tech, where they would get trained at Zalando, possibly a life-changing experience. These commitments underscore Zalando’s dedication to creating equal opportunities and fostering an inclusive culture that values diverse perspectives.

By actively working towards these targets, Zalando aims to lead by example and inspire other organizations to strive for greater gender equality in the tech industry.
