> Key achievements in support of professional equality GEODIS has undertaken a number of initiatives to give concrete support to its approach to professional gender equality, encompassing the entire scope of its activities: • the introduction of a minimum of eight weeks’ maternity leave, paid at 100%, for all women in the Group, irrespective of the legislation of the country they work in; • the creation of a “gender parity” criterion to be used in calculating the variable compensation of Top Executives; • the development of a culture of openness based on nondiscrimination, including the introduction of a specific training course on stereotypes and prejudices; • the strengthening of training programs: individualized support (training, coaching, mentoring, etc.), leadership training and career development; • a requirement for parity in the lists of candidates for recruitment and promotion. > Gender Equality Index (France) In compliance with the French law “For the freedom to choose one’s professional future”, passed in September 2018, GEODIS has published an Equality Index for those entities concerned since 2019. The index calculation method makes it possible to compare the treatment of male and female employees. An overall score out of 100 points is calculated on the basis of five criteria: the gender pay gap (40 points), the gap in individual pay rises (20 points), the gap in promotions (15 points), increases on return from maternity leave (15 points) and the presence of women among the highest-paid company employees (10 points). For 2022, GEODIS (the Economic and Social Unit [UES] of Head Office companies(9)) scored 89/100, compared to 83/100 in 2021. 4.4.2 Inclusion of people with disabilities Equality in the workplace also involves including, integrating or reintegrating people with disabilities into the professional world. GEODIS has a long-standing commitment in this area and continues to work on behalf of people with disabilities, promoting their professional integration and developing partnerships to help people who are far removed from the business world to find ways of returning to stable employment. An internal handbook, entitled “Disability inclusion – How to be a key player”, has been published throughout the Group. It serves as a reference for employees who wish to take action to promote the integration of people with disabilities at GEODIS. The main lines of action are as follows: • informing employees: the Group is committed to organizing at least one action or event per year within its various regions/ lines of business in a bid to change perceptions of disability and remove prejudices; • acting with employees: the idea is to provide employees who so desire with the tools and resources they need to become “disability correspondents”, promoting the Group’s disability policy to other employees. Launched in 2020, this network, called IN (which stands for Inclusion Network), has 53 volunteer employee members around the world; • acting with partners: alongside the involvement of employees, the Group’s regions and lines of business are committed to contracting at least three services per year to companies, associations or networks working for the integration of disabled people in the workplace (garden maintenance, catering, etc.); • practicing inclusion in various ways to contribute to the employability of disabled people: the Group is committed to facilitating applications from disabled people (a note on job offers states that they are open to any person recognized as a disabled worker). Technological aids (ergonomic equipment, etc.) and adaptations to the content or format of training courses are also made available. In 2022, the percentage of employees with disabilities within the Group was 3.27% (compared to 3.01% in 2021), or 1,487 employees.
