Awarded by the organization Gouvernance au Féminin, the Parity certification aims to accelerate the development of female leadership and make parity a reality in the business world. For UAP, this recognition crowns a clear strategy and concrete initiatives to attract, develop, and retain female talent in all its teams.

Concrete actions for sustainable gender parity

The achievement of Parity Silver 2024 certification is the result of:

•  A strong and clear commitment by management to gender equality.
• The creation of an employee resource group (ERG) to foster solidarity and belonging.
• An inclusive mentoring program that supports women's professional development.
• A rigorous and enforced anti-discrimination and anti-harassment policy.
• Flexible offers that promote work-life balance.
• Active involvement in causes and partnerships that support women.

Diversity, in all its dimensions, is recognized for increasing financial results and promoting innovation. Therefore, working to make gender equality a lasting norm is a particularly motivating mission.

UAP would like to sincerely thank all members of its team. Their daily involvement, whether through mentoring, within the BRGs, or through other actions, plays an essential role in advancing the position of women within the organization.
