    Gender equality

ACTIA Automotive and ACTIA Telecom publish their gender equality index

Pursuant to Law No. 2018-771 of September 5, 2018 (known as the “Professional Future Law”) supplemented by Decree No. 2019-15 of January 8, 2019, ACTIA Automotive SA and ACTIA Telecom SA publish the results of the indicators for gender equality index based on data for the year 2023.

ACTIA is committed to equality for all in the implementation of its processes, in favor of the principles of inclusion, fairness, non-discrimination, transparency and respect.

For ACTIA, this means working together for a socially responsible world.

ACTIA Automotive

Based on the 4 criteria established by the French government, the 2024 Gender Equality Index of ACTIA Automotive in France (relating to data for 2023) is 77 points out of 100.

The global index is broken down by indicators as follows:

  • Pay gap indicator: 37
  • Individual increase rate gap indicator: 10
  • Promotion rate gap indicator: 15
  • Maternity leave return indicator: 15
  • High remuneration indicator: 0

Overall index: 77/100 (77%) *

ACTIA Telecom

Based on the 5 criteria established by the French government, ACTIA Telecom’s 2024 gender equality index (relating to data for 2023) is 88 points out of 100.

The global index is broken down by indicators as follows:

  • Pay gap indicator: 38
  • Individual increase rate gap indicator: 20
  • Promotion rate gap indicator: 15
  • Maternity leave return indicator: 15
  • High remuneration indicator: 0

Overall index: 88/100

* NOTE: In application of the methodology for calculating the “Difference in the distribution of increases” indicator, the latter is temporarily impacted by the large number of women recruited after 31 March 2023. In application of the provisions of the agreement on Mandatory Annual Negotiations 2023, not all employees recruited by ACTIA Automotive after 31 March 2023 benefited from these provisions, which has a negative impact on this indicator. If we correct the indicator for this cyclical factor, it would be 20/20. As a result, ACTIA Automotive’s gender equality index would be 87/100.
Both scores confirm that the policies implemented, particularly in the area of pay, have had a positive impact and encourage us to continue our efforts to promote professional equality between women and men. It should be noted that 17 women and 20 men benefited from the envelope dedicated to rebalancing salaries.

The importance of gender diversity in the workplace

ACTIA Automotive employs 30% women (up 2% on 2022), while ACTIA Telecom employs 22% (up 1% on 2022). It should be noted that the national average in the Metallurgy sector is 22%.

This under-representation can be explained by the fact that certain jobs in industry remain “gendered”. For example, women are still under-represented in engineering and technical occupations, and this is a factor in the choice of career path at school. This is why ACTIA encourages mentoring of female students in technical training courses.

Some support functions, on the other hand, have a high proportion of women and few men.

ACTIA is committed to a policy of non-discrimination in recruitment, particularly through its recruitment process.

Career development and promotion

ACTIA supports the development of its employees’ skills on an equal footing. This means that all employees have the same opportunities for career development, advancement, classification and access to positions of responsibility.
