Making Progress

At Syensqo, we are committed to creating an inclusive workplace where everyone has equal opportunities to succeed.

Our goal is to achieve gender parity in mid and senior management within the next ten years, building upon our current representation of 28.3%.

To support women's progression and opportunities, we will ensure we have diverse candidate pools, and invest in inclusive leadership for all new managers. We recognize the importance of providing conditions that support all employees with caring responsibilities, regardless of gender.

Importantly, our pursuit of gender parity does not translate to fewer opportunities for men; rather, it amplifies competition and ensures that selection is based solely on skills, fostering a culture of fairness and meritocracy at every level of the organization.

Delivering impact

Here are a just a few examples of the progress we are making:

• More than 400 (that’s one-third!) of our junior women managers have taken part in the A-Effect leadership program. That's how we're building our next generation of leaders. 
• We’re offering all employees 16 weeks paid parental leave, regardless of gender and orientation. 
• We’re delivering Inclusive Leadership workshops to every new manager in our company.
• Our confidential Speak Up program helps to ensure we have safe spaces to report non-inclusive behaviors. 

• We don’t request a salary history in the selection process to ensure greater pay equity for roles.
  We conduct an equal-pay-for-equal-level gap analysis every year in order to identify opportunities for improvement.
