Gender equality index

For several years now, Avril has been taking a proactive approach to achieving gender equality in the workplace. For several years, Avril has been actively committed to gender equality in the workplace. As part of its social responsibility policy, SPRING, launched in 2019, Avril has set itself an ambitious goal: to increase the proportion of women in its global workforce.

As of December 31, 2024, women represent 30.8% of the total number of employees worldwide. In addition, the proportion of women in the highest positions in the Avril organization reached 33.33% on the same date, marking an increase compared to 2023. This progress reflects the ongoing efforts and constant commitment of all Avril employees, who work together on a collective and inclusive project.

In accordance with the law, Avril publishes the results of the gender equality indices every year for all its French companies where the workforce numbers allow for a calculation. This index is based on 4 to 5 criteria: the pay gap, the pay raise distribution gap, the promotion distribution gap (for companies with more than 250 employees), the percentage of female employees who received a raise after returning from maternity leave, and the distribution of women and men among the 10 highest earners. As of December 31, 2024, the majority of the entities concerned have a score of over 85 points.

The index cannot be calculated this year, as the company has not yet been in existence for 12 months.
