Organized by the United Nations, International Women's Day, takes place every March 8. This is a special opportunity to recognize, out loud and worldwide, the achievements of women and to raise awareness of the need for parity.
Diehl Metering’s commitment to gender diversity
At Diehl Metering, we actively promote diversity and inclusion across all areas of our business—from logistics, IT, and production to R&D, project management, sales, engineering, and top management. Gender diversity is deeply embedded in our corporate culture.
We promote our employees regardless of gender, origin or nationality. Every employee is unique and has the same opportunities to develop in line with their preferences and capabilities

Furthermore, as a signatory of the UN Global Compact, our company seeks to empower women in line with the fifth of the UN’s 17 Sustainable Development Goals.
A Call to Action: Unlocking Equal Rights and Opportunities
Last year, we highlighted the theme "Invest in Women: Accelerate Progress", addressing the underrepresentation of women in industrial management. This year’s theme calls on us to take concrete action toward ensuring equal rights, power, and opportunities for all. It envisions a future where no one is left behind, with a special focus on empowering young women and adolescent girls—the next generation of change-makers.
Why our participation matters
2025 marks the 30th anniversary of the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action, the most progressive and widely supported framework for advancing women’s rights worldwide. Since its adoption, this document has played a pivotal role in shaping legal protections, improving access to essential services, and challenging outdated social norms and stereotypes.
By actively engaging in this initiative, we:
- Demonstrate solidarity: show our commitment to a cause that benefits everyone.
- Inspire change: our actions can motivate others to reflect and act towards gender parity. Both equality and parity could be correct, depending on what you want to say here
- Strengthen our Culture: contribute to building a more inclusive and supportive workplace at Diehl Metering.
Driving Change at Diehl Metering
At Diehl Metering, we believe that diversity and inclusion are essential drivers of innovation and success—principles embedded in our Sustainability Report. We continue to encourage women to take on leadership roles, explore diverse career paths, and realize their full potential. In 2023, women represented 42% of our global workforce, and the percentage of female managers rose from 19% to 21%.
As employees, partners, and family members, we all have a role to play in advancing gender equality. It’s a collective effort. By taking action, we not only strengthen our workplace but also contribute to a more inclusive and sustainable future.
Join us in celebrating International Women’s Day 2025 and accelerating progress toward true gender equality!
