Gender equality index

For several years now, Avril has been taking a proactive approach to achieving gender equality in the workplace.

As part of its SPRING corporate social responsibility policy implemented in 2019, Avril set itself the ambitious target of increasing the proportion of women in its global workforce.

At December 31, 2023, women accounted for 30.9% of total employees worldwide, up slightly from 2022. In addition, the percentage of women in the most senior positions in Avril’s organization rose to 31.36% at December 31, 2023. This increase illustrates the efforts and constant commitment of all Avril players to act for a collective and inclusive project. 

In accordance with the law, every year Avril publishes the gender equality index of all French companies where the number of employees makes it possible to calculate it. This index measures 4 to 5 indicators: pay gap, pay rise distribution gap, promotion distribution gap (for entities with more than 250 employees), percentage of female employees receiving a pay rise on return from maternity leave, and number of women and men in the top 10 pay brackets. At December 31, 2023, the majority of companies concerned were above 85 points.
