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.

Setting binding objectives to promote diversity at the top of companies

The correlation between gender diversity in top management and company performance is well established. Despite a strong case, and many initiatives in the public or corporate arena, change is not really happening and women are still widely under-represented in corporate top management. Setting clear expectations and objectives is a first step, then we need to leave some time for companies to build the critical pipeline of female talent, trusting them to do what is right. And finally, if nothing changes, there must be a mandatory mechanism ensuring we make it happen. We are committed to make this change happen at Forvis Mazars.
