Professional equality index
The CSR strategy launched by leadership places Institut Curie at the heart of the societal issues of the present and the future and states that the principles of equal opportunity and treatment for all members of staff represent a company value that applies from the time of hire and throughout employees’ careers.
In the ‘Avenir’ law enacted in 2018, reinforced by the Rixain law of December 24, 2021, an obligation to produce results in terms of equal pay between women and men in companies is now enshrined.
The goal is to correct the unjustified wage gap between women and men, which is a reality nation-wide, and to provide women and men with the same opportunities for salary raises and promotions; to ensure that women returning from maternity leave receive all the salary raises given in their absence, and to have at least four women among the top 10 highest-paying positions.
The index is calculated based on these five indicators weighted according to their significance.
With a score of 84 points out of 100, Institut Curie exceeds the regulatory target of 71 points.
The proactive policy already in place needs to be strengthened to achieve greater progress margins, which remain possible.
In addition to calculating this index, Article 14 of the Rixain Law of 12/24/2021 sets objectives for balanced representation between women and men among senior managers and members of the management bodies of large companies and adds an obligation to publish the differences in representation between women and men within the management bodies and senior managers.
This gap is established for Institut Curie for 2023:
Gap in representation among senior managers
- Percentage of women among senior managers 47.6 %
- Percentage of men among senior managers 52.3 %
Discrepancy in representation among the members of the governing bodies
- Percentage of women among the members of the governing bodies 46.2 %
- Percentage of men among the members of the governing bodies 53.7 %
In order to get closer to this balance, a new agreement on professional equality was signed with trade union organizations on April 29, 2022, which reaffirms the need to guarantee equal opportunities and treatment for employees regardless of their gender and recognizes that professional equality between women and men is a major challenge for the development of each individual and Institut Curie.
