Maersk promotes female managers

SHIPPING: A.P.Moller-Maersk has committed itself to having more female managers within five years. The company is one of 75 to have signed up to the Gender Equality Ministry's charter on women in the workplace.

Maria Pejter, head of talent development at Maersk, said 4 percent of the company's vice presidents were women. The aim was to increase that to 10 percent in the next five years.

Maersk was also aiming to increase the proportion of other high-level managerial positions from 9 to 15 percent. By 2014, every fifth middle manager would be a woman, Pejter said.

Gender Equality Minister Inger Støjberg welcomed the news labelling it a 'milestone' in Danish gender equality politics and predicted that other companies would follow suit.
