Cyclife France has announced an overall score of 84/100 in the Gender Equality Index for 2023

For each of the indicators, the results achieved in 2022 are:

  • Pay gap (%): 34/40
  • Gap in individual salary increases (in % points): 20/20
  • Promotion gap (in % points): 15/15
  • Employees receiving a pay rise on return from maternity leave (%) 22 : 15/15
  • Number of employees of the under-represented gender in the top 10 highest earners: 0/10  
Gender equality

The steady increase observed since the publication of these results (+20 points since 2018) reflects Cyclife France's commitment to professional equality.

In 2023, Cyclife France achieved a score of 84/100. As this is less than 85 points, improvement targets have been set for each indicator for which the maximum score has not been achieved, i.e. indicators 1 and 5:

  • Indicator 1: Pay gap 
    Get closer to the maximum score by annually reducing unjustified pay gaps that are not based on objective and relevant criteria, so as to ensure equal pay for women and men for the same work or for work of equal value.
  • Indicator 5: The number of employees of the under-represented sex in the top 10 highest earners
    Obtain 5 points for the presence of 2 women among the employees receiving the 10 highest salaries in the company by implementing all possible actions, i.e.: salary increases based on objective and relevant criteria and/or internal mobility and/or recruitment".

Since the law adopted on 05 September 2018, companies with more than 50 employees must: 

  • Calculate this overall score and publish it on their website on the 1st of March each year, as well as the result obtained for each of the 5 indicators,
  • Take the necessary corrective action if the overall score obtained is less than 75%, otherwise a financial penalty of up to 1% of their total payroll may be imposed.

Since this obligation in 2018, Cyclife France calculates and publishes its professional equality index every year.
