Reaffirming our commitment to achieving gender equality in our organisations

I am proud to be part of this initiative, led by the Gender Balance Observatory, with eight CEOs of preeminent companies in France, to reaffirm our commitment to achieving gender equality in our organisations. In times of crisis, it is critical to maintain, and even reinforce our attention and investments in this area, in particular as the Covid-19 pandemic has highlighted - and sometimes increased - inequalities. The "next normal" must foster more equality and balance, driven by consistent social conscience in how we manage our businesses. And this goes beyond gender: we must take responsibility and stand firm to prevent all forms of domination, discrimination or abuse. Diversity of cultures and perspectives is what makes us stronger.
