Our people are the backbone of Scatec. Our skilled, passionate, and ambitious employees are the foundation of our competitive advantage and growth strategy.
During 2021, we expanded our team internationally by 187 full-time employees, increasing the total number of employees to 622. With their 51 different nationalities, our employees represent true diversity.
In order to meet our growth targets, we implemented a new People and Organisation strategy during 2021 that reflects our aims for growth in our core markets.
We are focusing on strengthening our organisation, developing our people, and reinforcing our culture. We will build on our heritage and create a robust organisation with solid leaders who are ready to take on the challenge of taking Scatec to the next level. The strategy also sets out key activities for achieving our goals in respect of diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging (DEIB).
We will continue to recruit business development resources in our core markets to capitalise on new project opportunities early on. We are strengthening our employer brand to ensure long-term access to talent and offer unique career opportunities by promoting growth and development. When we recruit, we look for top candidates who have both a cultural and a business understanding of the markets where we operate. We do this to reduce risk and accelerate growth.
Our organisation has unique competencies in navigating complex markets. Our business model for developing, building, owning, and operating renewable energy plants has provided us with knowledge and experience of a kind that few others can offer, and we empower our teams to work across functions and borders alike.
Our leadership development framework facilitates horizontal career moves, which facilitates the development of broader skillsets, multi-functional competencies, and a stronger company culture.
2021 marked a year of change in Scatec and our diverse, global, and agile workforce will remain our key strength. We are implementing our people strategy which will contribute to fulfil our business plan
