Updated on

Introduction:

CRPN has published its workplace gender equality index, which gives it 86 points out of 100.


France’s free career choice law of September 5, 2018, has made gender-based pay equality a performance requirement for all businesses.

Results by indicator

This means that, in 2026, CRPN’s Gender pay equality index is calculated out of a possible 100 points using the following 3 indicators:

  • Pay gap between men and women: 38 points,
  • Gap in individual pay raises: 25 points,
  • Top management gender equality (number of members of the underrepresented gender among the 10 highest-paid employees): 10 point.

The indicator tied to the % of employees who received a raise over the year following their return from maternity cannot be calculated for 2025.

This score is increasing for 2026 based on 2025 data, with the CRPN achieving a score of 83/100 for 2025 based on 2024 data.
