Advancing gender equality in the workplace

Leading the way with gender equality

With 7 women in our Executive Committee, we are already one of the most gender-balanced company. Yet, we keep raising the bar of gender equality at all levels of the organization by eroding the pay gap, fighting biases, and with flexible work/leave policies.

Learn how we do it

Committed to fair living wages

An economy works only if it works for everyone, so not only do we pay all employees at or above the living wage, we also reward and compensate them equitably for their contributions and we require our supply chain partners to meet decent work standards too.

Closing the gap with energy

Access to energy, a fundamental human right

Over 700 million people still live with no electricity, limiting their quality of life, study and work prospects. This is unacceptable, so we work with people and partners on the ground to develop and serve adapted solutions that extend access to energy for equal opportunity development.
