Gender diversity is a driving force for performance. That’s why attracting, retaining and developing female talent at all levels is a strategic priority for the ECB.

To support a diverse and inclusive work environment, the ECB’s gender strategy aims to increase female representation in our organisation. We have introduced two types of targets: targets for the overall representation of women at different levels, and targets for the representation of women among those being appointed to new and open positions.
