Gender equality index

Estéban publishes its Gender Equality Index.

What does this index consist of?

Professional equality is a matter of social justice as well as economic and social performance. The Equality Index was designed as a simple and practical tool to promote equality between women and men within companies. It measures pay and status gaps between women and men. It highlights areas for improvement to be addressed when these disparities are unjustified. Each year, all companies with more than 50 employees must calculate and make it public before March 1st.

The Index is scored out of 100 points. It is calculated based on four indicators for those with 50 to 250 employees:

1. The pay gap: comparison of average pay between women and men, by age group and socioprofessional category (CSP) or other job classification:
0 to 40 points;

2. The gap in the distribution of individual raises between women and men:
0 to 35 points for those with 50 to 249 employees;

3. The percentage of female employees who received a raise upon returning from maternity leave:
0 or 15 points;

4. Parity between women and men among the ten highest earners:
0 to 10 points.
