The French Act on the freedom to choose one’s professional future requires companies with more than 50 employees to publish their Gender Equality Index, providing essential and measurable transparency regarding their progress in terms of gender equality. 

Equal pay for men and women

In order to measure companies’ progress in achieving gender pay equality, the Act on the freedom to choose one’s professional future (August 2018) requires organizations with more than 50 employees to calculate and publish their Gender Equality Index 

The index is based on four or five indicators, depending on the size of the company, and results in an overall score out of 100. 

For companies with fewer than 250 employees, the indicators are as follows:  

If the index score is below 85 points, companies must set and publish improvement targets for each indicator. 

If the index score is below 75 points, companies must publish corrective and pay adjustment measures.
