Certifications and Approvals

Our rating on gender equality

0 93 / 100

Criteria

1.
Gender pay gap
2.
Allocation of individual increases
3.
Difference in the distribution of promotions
4.
Number of employees increased upon return from maternity leave
5.
Parity among top 10 earners

The Gender Equality Index is calculated in accordance with French law (Law of September 5, 2018, and its implementing decree of January 8, 2019) regarding professional equality between men and women. French companies with 50 or more employees are legally required to measure and publish these five gender equality indicators annually. This requirement is specific to French employment law and does not apply to Safran's operations in other countries, where local employment practices and regulations govern employment practices.

Criterion No. 1: Difference in average salary between men and women - 38/40

Criterion No. 2: Comparison of the percentage of men and women having received a raise - 20/20

Criterion No. 3: Comparison of the percentage of men and women having received a promotion - 15/15

Criterion No. 4: Whether all women received a raise on returning from a maternity/adoption leave - 15/15

Criterion No. 5: Number of women in the top 10 paying positions - 5/10

In addition, the law "aimed at accelerating economic and professional equality between women and men" of December 24, 2021 (known as the Rixain law) creates a new obligation to increase the number of women in the management structures of companies with over 1,000 employees. At Safran, our policy of professional development for women, giving them access to positions of responsibility, identifying their potential and supporting their career development are priorities that we have also extended to our relations with engineering schools and universities for several years.

Within Safran Seats, the indicators for the gender gap in senior management positions are as follows
- Percentage of women and men among all senior managers: 11.7% women and 88.3% men
- Percentage of women and men among all members of management teams: 22.5% women and 77.5% men
