Reykjavík Energy has traditionally been a male-dominated workplace, and efforts are being made to increase diversity within job categories. For the second consecutive year, Reykjavík Energy's Annual Report showcases a detailed breakdown of gender representation, categorizing employees as women, men, and non-binary/other. At the management level, gender equality has prevailed since 2015. RE does not have figures on gender distribution among its contractors.
Gender diversity per job category
The Equality Scale
All companies within Reykjavík Energy have endorsed the Equality Scale declaration of intent. In 2023, Ljósleiðarinn was added to the list of companies within RE recognized with the Equality Scale award, a recognition by the Association of Business Women in Iceland for those companies that have expressed their commitment to making Iceland a leader in gender equality.
The greatest influence of women on management
According to the fourth report, prepared by Ernst & Young for the association Women in Energy, published in September 2023, the influence of women within the energy sector is greatest at Reykjavík Energy. That has been the result of all four reports by the association. They are published every other year and the next one forthcoming in 2025.
