Gender equality index

Convinced of the importance of diversity, Spiecapag is fully committed to professional equality between women and men.

The law of 5 September 2018 on freedom to choose one’s professional future has reinforced obligations regarding equal pay for women and men.

The Gender Equality Index is about companies of at least 50 employees. It measures the pay gap between women and men in order to reduce it gradually. The companies concerned must calculate and publish this index, in a visible and legible manner, on their website before 1er March.

This index, which measures employment equality between women and men on 100 points, is structured around five indicators. Companies must also communicate details of the various indicators to the Social and Economic Committee (ESC) and the Labor Inspectorate (Dreets).Those with a score of less than 75 points are required to take corrective action within three years to reduce this gender gap:

  • the gender pay gap (40 points);
  • the difference in annual increases (20 points);
  • the gap in promotions (15 points);
  • increases on return from maternity leave (15 points);
  • the share of women in the company’s ten highest salaries (10 points).

57/100: Professional gender equality index score obtained by Spiecapag for the year 2025.

This overall score is calculated based on 4 indicators that have been made compulsory under the French law for the freedom to choose one’s professional future:

  • Gender pay gap: 2/40
  • Difference in the allocation of individual raises between men and women: 35/35
  • Number of employees receiving a raise upon their return from maternity leave: 15/15
  • Equality among the 10 highest earners: 5/10
