According to the Nordic Business Diversity Index 2025 report, Enento Group is among the top ten most diverse mid-cap companies listed on Nasdaq Helsinki. The strategy and change management firm Impaktly compiled the most comprehensive top leadership diversity survey in the Nordics for the sixth time.
This year, Enento Group is tied for tenth place with Marimekko and Scanfil. Last year, Enento was among the top 15 companies.
“This recognition is a great honor for us. Strengthening and acknowledging diversity is an integral part of Enento, and we are very pleased when our systematic work yields results. Diversity brings many benefits – it leads to better problem-solving and productivity, and increases employee satisfaction. According to our surveys, our employees feel that Enento values diversity and that employees are treated equally and fairly regardless of gender, ethnicity, or other factors. This is of paramount importance to us,” says Enento Group’s CEO Jeanette Jäger.
The proportion of female CEOs in listed companies in Finland has slowly increased in recent years, but no significant change has occurred. Enento Group’s executive management team has a 50/50 gender split and is one of the nine companies listed on Nasdaq Helsinki with a female CEO. According to data collected by Impaktly, Finnish listed companies are now typically led by individuals born in 1970 with a commercial education. The age range of Finnish CEOs spans from 1956 to 1984, with an average age of 55 years. The proportion of women in executive teams in Finland has increased compared to the previous year, especially in small-cap companies, where women now make up 24.2%, a 3.2% increase from the previous year. In mid-cap and large-cap companies, the proportion of women in executive teams has remained unchanged. In mid-cap companies, the proportion of women is 28.2%, while in large companies, it is 29.2%.
“Diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging are important cornerstones in the development of Enento. We are constantly investing in DEIB work and recognize that there is always room for improvement. We are committed to further strengthening diversity and equity in areas such as recruitment, training, and remuneration,” mentions Enento’s HR Director Sari Ek-Petroff.
The 2025 Nordic Business Diversity Index report examined companies listed on the main lists of the Helsinki, Stockholm, Copenhagen, Oslo, and Iceland stock exchanges, divided into three main categories (small-cap, mid-cap, and large-cap companies). A total of 843 companies were examined, making the survey one of the most comprehensive top leadership diversity surveys in the Nordics. Diversity in the composition of boards and executive teams of listed companies was examined using four different variables: gender, age, nationality, and education.

Methodology of the Nordic Business Diversity Index
Impaktly collected data from published and public sources on the composition of the executive teams and boards of listed companies: the number of men and women (binary gender assumption based on name), different age groups, nationalities, and educational backgrounds. These metrics are defined in the Corporate Governance Code of the Securities Market Association as those to be considered when determining the principles of board diversity. The data was used for two purposes: to determine an indexed score for each company and to provide an overview of what top leadership diversity looks like in the Nordics through these four metrics.
The metrics serve as a good, though not perfect, perspective for assessing diversity. There are aspects of diversity and data that are not available from public sources.
About the survey
The survey is independent and published annually. A total of 843 listed companies in the Nordics were included in the survey. Companies with four or fewer members on their boards or executive teams were excluded. The data was collected in November-December 2024.
