Like all French companies with more than 50 employees, Latitude has fulfilled its obligations by declaring and publishing its gender equality index to the Ministry of Labor. This index allows concerned companies to assess, on a scale of 100 points, the level of equality between men and women based onthe following criteria:
- Gender pay gap: the difference between the average salaries of men and women, ideally aiming for a gap of 0 for perfect equality;
- Difference in individual raise rates: percentage of women and men who received raises during the year;
- Gender parity among the top 10 highest earners: percentage of women and men who received raises during the year;
- Number of female employees receiving raises after maternity leave;
Obtained Scores
Latitude has provided the required indicators, and the detailed scores obtained are as follows:
- Indicator 1: Gender pay gap: 40/40
- Indicator 2: Difference in individual raise rates: 35/35 (despite a 19.6% gap in favor ofmen in salary increases in 2023, this final score takes into account the fact that men represent a larger proportion of the company's workforce. As such, the company obtained the maximum score on this indicator)
- Indicator 3: Number of employees receiving raises upon return from maternity or adoption leave: not applicable in 2023
- Indicator 4: Gender parity among the top 10 highest earners: 0/10 (only 1 woman among the top 10 highest earners as of 12/31/2023)
The score obtained is 75/85, which when scaled to 100 points, results in a final score of 88/100.
