Progress through innovation
In 2017, Reykjavik Energy Group adopted a new model which analyses the impact of every single wage decision on gender-based wage differences. This enabled the Group to eliminate unexplained gender-based pay gap. This milestone was achieved in 2017, and since then, unexplained gender-based wage difference has been statistically insignificant.

Equal Pay Certificate
OR's equal pay system received equal pay certification in 2018. That certification means that the system implemented meets the provisions of Act no. 56/2017 on equal pay certification. The system is new to ensure that OR does not discriminate against employees based on their gender.
