France - Women/Men Equality Index
Ipackchem France releases the results of its “Women Men equality index”. For the year 2021 and as it was in the previous year, our overall index is INCALCULABLE (the measurable indicators represent less than 75 points).
This result can be brokendown as follows:
1- Salary pay difference between Women & Men: INCALCULABLE
The reason: All the valid groups represent less than 40% of the workforce.
2- Proportion of women and men increased: 35 points out of 35
3- Of the percentage of women increased on return from maternity leave: INCALCULABLE
The reason: No return from maternity leave during the period.
4- Number of women and men in the top 10 highest paid in the company: 0 points out of 10
We are determined to work on this issue by focusing our actions on the theme of gender diversity in certain sectors and on women’s access to the highest levels of responsibility, and therefore of remuneration, in our company. We are convinced that gender diversity is a powerful lever for performance and attractiveness.
It is our responsibility to continue to promote our businesses to women, particularly in schools, to help our female employees to flourish in the company and to enable them to achieve ambitious career paths.
