Sustainability

Diversity

Optimity has 24 employees in Sweden where about 20% are women. They strive to have a good mix of genders but are aware of the ongoing problem with a lack of women in the tech industry and how that affects the amount of women getting employed. All employees at the Swedish office have Swedish background but since the company also has offices in the US, Australia and Singapore, the mix of ethnicities at the company as a whole is much larger. The correct competence is what drives all decisions regarding who gets employed at Optimity. Gender, age or ethnicity does not have significance and they hope to achieve a good mix by keeping this up.

Benefits to society

Optimity works with optimization of complex supply chains in different companies . The companies are usually food companies that need help optimizing stock and logistics to make sure more products get to their destination in time and are sold in time before it reaches its expiration date, which further leads to less wasted products and lower CO2 emissions.
