Women held 29.8% of engineering, consulting and project management positions, compared with 29.9% in 2020. It remains higher than the overall proportion of women in scientific careers (28%). Increasing the proportion of women in the workforce and in management positions The Group has implemented a gender equality programme backed by Executive Management, “TogetHER For Greater Balance”, to

The goal of sharing initiatives in this way is to inject fresh momentum by inspiring people and encouraging interaction between countries.
