Equality, diversity and inclusion

We strive to create a safe, healthy and happy working environment for all colleagues. Everyone deserves, and is entitled, to be treated with respect by their peers and managers. This aligns with the TRATON Group-wide shared core value of ‘Respect’.  

At Scania, we have a zero-tolerance approach to any forms of bullying, harassment and victimisation. We encourage everyone to speak up if you are experiencing any of these issues and we are committed to empowering colleagues to report any type of this unacceptable behaviour. 

Boosting mental, physical, and emotional health for our people is a priority for our business. From family friendly policies to wellbeing sessions and mental health awareness seminars, we cover it all. This time out is encouraged, and we invite our team to connect with one another, reach out for a listening ear and know that someone will hear them, whatever the challenges may be, with support where it's needed most.  

Experience our diverse wellbeing sessions and seminars, designed for open sharing and caring. With 50 mental health champions across our organisation, rest assured that support reaches those who need it most.

Scania actively engage with the wider automotive industry and, as well as the Automotive Council UK, we have an active member of the IMI’s Diversity Taskforce from the People & Culture Team.  The Diversity Taskforce meets regularly to discuss how industry wide improvements can be made with ED&I and provide advice to organisations within the industry.  

Enjoy the inspiring stories of women in diverse roles across our business as they share their experiences and personal stories.
