Gender equality index, Candriam – Succursale française

In order to eliminate occupational inequality between women and men in companies, the Ministry of Labour has introduced the gender equality index, which is mandatory for all French companies with more than 50 employees.

The index is calculated out of 100 points on the basis of four indicators

The gender pay gap,
The difference in the distribution of individual raises,
The number of employees given a raise on their return from maternity leave,
Parity among the ten highest earners.

If the index comes in below 75 points, the company must implement corrective measures to reach at least 75 points within three years.

Candriam France’s gender equality index for 2023 is 87 points out of 100.

This score encourages us to continue our commitment to promoting equality among employees, whatever their role at Candriam.

Occupational equality between women and men in the selection process prior to them being hired, as well as at all stages in their career, is a major issue to which we pay the utmost attention.

Greater occupational diversity is a source of collective enrichment, economic efficiency and social balance.

Indicators	Score obtained
1- pay gap (%)	39/40
2- differences in individual increases (in % or equivalent number of employees)	35/35
3- percentage of employees given a raise on their return from maternity leave (%)	incalculable
4- number of employees of the under-represented gender among the ten highest earners	0/10
Total calculable indicators	87/100

Index 2023: 87/100 (published on 20/02/2024)

Index 2022: 86/100 (published on 21/02/2023)

Progress targets Gender Equality Index:

Although the data from the gender equality index does not show a significant pay gap, the company has set itself the target of improving the situation, and more specifically of reducing the pay gap in favour of men to below 10%. This improvement target has been specifically set based on the results of the 2021 index, in order to improve the score obtained on the pay gap indicator.

The company specifies that, since the publication of the index in February 2022, the latest measures for individual increases and changes in classification taken in the context of individual interviews and the agreement of 28 January 2020 have made it possible to further reduce the pay gap between women and men.

The company also maintains its objectives of continuing to:

avoid any discrimination in terms of salary and salary development, particularly in relation to career development;
aim for an equivalent percentage of men and women concerned by an individual increase in their remuneration.

The Company undertakes not to create new pay gaps between men and women, under any circumstances.

Index 2021 : 81/100 (published on 08/02/2022)
Index 2020 : 75/100 (published on 22/02/2021)
Index 2019 : 84/100 (published on 21/02/2020)
