this week we are celebrating
International Women's League on at
Schneider everywhere were going to be
celebrating the power of women in
business and in the world at Schneider
we believe that great people make a
great company and we want 100 percent of
the people to have access to our company
to boredom Schneider unto developed at
Schneider and of course it starts with
the best diversity we have in our
society which is gender diversity so we
are firmly committed to inclusion on
gender diversity and we do it amongst at
least three principles first we promote
gender equality at every level in our
company I still remember 15 years ago
only five percent of the top 1,000
leaders of Schneider where women today
we just crossed the line of 20 percent
we chose on one side a tremendous
progress which shows even more that we
need to do much more if we want to reach
gender equality in the future we are
firmly committed soon to have at least
30 percent of women in our top
leadership on 12 recruitment which is
fully gender balance we also support it
with strong policies on gender pay
equity policy is now applying to more
than 90 percent of our company on their
game we are committed to 100% our global
family leave policy on flexibility at
work principles are applying to most of
Shannara as we speak and we are
committed to have it applying to 100% of
the company by 2020
everything we've done has made that we
have been recognized vision by Forbes by
Bloomberg and catalyst for our
leadership for looking for more gender
diversity on women inclusion
second way we do it we consider that
woman our key in the whole society not
only action I dawn we are supported by
multiple initiatives the development of
women in business around us we add for
instance women to create their companies
in Brazil in Egypt we are helping young
women to get access to a carrier of
technician in energy automation and in
Africa we are helping women to set up
their companies by offering them their
full energy system on which we can base
the development of the companies those
are a few of the initiatives that we
develop around the world so we believe
that companies should be mobilized when
we speak about inclusion and especially
we believe in coalitions of company as
joining forces changes dynamics of the
society as a member of the global board
of the UN Global Compact we help
companies mobilize together on the cause
of women inclusion on gender diversity
we are still on a journey for a more
equal world we believe a trial the first
in quality to look for is to make sure
that men and women are treated on an
equal footing so we believe it's a
journey that we have already done a part
of it but we ask we challenge and we
encourage all of you to participate
together in making our society better
balance between the women on the men of
the world
