Even though SCL International cannot display its score as it is not calculable, it nonetheless demonstrates its commitment to promoting equality between women and men in employment advancement, careers, and compensation, as well as in balancing their professional and personal lives.
This commitment has translated into concrete actions to continue the effort that has already been made:
- Regularly monitor salaries applied based on a comparison between women and men recruited for jobs corresponding to equal value work (identical classification and compensation)
- Promote the integration of women into occupations primarily occupied by men (presence of women in workshops)
- Promote the reconciliation of women’s professional lives with their personal lives by deploying part-time work (67% of part-time arrangements are for women, and more than 36% of women work part-time)
