4 CORPORATE RESPONSIBILITY

Social responsibility: A committed and responsible collective effort

The proportion on women in the Group’s workforce increased very slightly, from 32% in 2019 to 32.5% in 2020, with women holding 29.9% of engineering, consulting and project management positions (up from 29.3% in 2019). It remains higher than the overall proportion of women in scientific careers (28%). Progress was made in Spain and the United Kingdom, with a significant increase in the proportion of women recruited in these countries. The Group’s compensation policy is a management tool based on recognising each individual’s contribution to the Group’s performance, over and above the requirements of local legislation. It is based on the principle of fair treatment and supported by a system of personalised annual performance appraisals for all employees. Compensation offered is in line with local regulations and exceeds the minimum wage (where one exists) in countries in which the Group has a presence. Principles governing the breakdown of and changes in compensation apply across the Group and are based on the following: Fixed compensation: in keeping with the level of responsibility, p consistent with the Group’s Core Competency Reference Guide; $"% #( ) $#

These new arrangements were supported by

communications campaigns, guides for managers and employees, and specific training programmes.

Listening and support mechanisms were put in place. 6.1% of Group employees were part-time (compared with 5.9% p in 2019). Part-time working is never a requirement: it depends on both the employee’s individual choice and compatibility with the department or project concerned. Tools were rolled out to facilitate working from home: practical p guides for managers and staff, webinars on workplace ergonomics.
