Vision & strategy
At NN, we believe our company is strongest when we embrace the full spectrum of humanity. Recognising each person’s uniqueness and appreciating the value we all bring empowers us to succeed as individuals, as teams, and as a company. In our view, embedding Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) in our company enhances decision-making, promotes innovation, and improves business performance. It boosts employee engagement and is part of our broader commitment to creating sustainable long-term value for our stakeholders.
Our approach to DEI is simple. We embrace everyone and encourage our colleagues to bring their whole selves to work. We aim to deliver an inclusive customer experience, promote equal opportunities within our communities, and engage with our business partners and investee companies to uphold diverse, inclusive, and equitable practices.
To achieve our ambition, we address DEI within our various roles and across our key stakeholder groups:
- Employees - provide an inclusive and diverse work environment where our employees can bring their whole selves to work
- Customers - provide our customers with an inclusive customer experience
- Communities - consider a DEI lens in NN Group’s contributions to society
With respect to other stakeholders in our value chain, we encourage them to uphold diverse, inclusive, and equitable practices for their workforce.

Employee resource groups
We cultivate and harness our ERGs to support our DEI strategy and to champion inclusivity within NN by advocating for the unique needs of our diverse workforce. Our ERGs are comprised of passionate colleagues who act as ambassadors of DEI within NN. At NN, we have six ERGs representing five dimensions of gender, cultural diversity, sexual orientation, neurodiversity and generations.
Our ERGs are closest to the employees and have the ability to sense check sentiment on the work floor. Our ERGs are voluntary, self-organised and employee-led groups creating activities serving the needs of our colleagues.
Our NN ERGs have allocated working time to focus on achieving the following goals:
- Creating a sense of belonging - enable colleagues to connect, engage and grow in their personal and professional endeavors.
- Fostering safe spaces - for colleagues with shared identities, purposes, or backgrounds to come together.
- Creating awareness - for colleagues across the organisation around the dimension to understand the challenges and opportunities.
- Championing change - support the DEI vision and advocate for equity and inclusion in the workplace.
- Promoting allyship - welcome colleagues from other groups to create awareness and promote allyship and support.
