Convinced that diversity, inclusion and equality are essential factors for cohesion, performance and attractiveness, Edilians Group pursues a strong diversity policy while ensuring gender equality at all levels. This policy takes the form of awareness-raising campaigns, training programmes and increased attention to recruitment.

Promoting the inclusion of persons with disabilities
Following on from this agreement, on 23 November 2023 Edilians Group organised its first DuoDay in France, a nationwide day during which a company, local authority or association welcomes a disabled person to work in a duo with a volunteer employee.
”“We received positive feedback from everyone involved, showing that this initiative was beneficial for both the company and the people hosted. It was an opportunity to showcase our professions and company and share our values while raising awareness in our teams.”

HR officer, employment law expert, sales representative, laboratory employee, clay preparation operator – 11 duos were trained on six of our manufacturing sites in France, enabling invitees to discover a profession through an immersive company experience and giving the employee volunteers a chance to help make a difference.
Following the success of the first edition, the Group is renewing the experience in France in November 2024.
Structuring our action to promote diversity and professional equality
To strengthen its commitments, in June 2023 Edilians Group signed a new three-year agreement on diversity, gender equality and disability in France. The agreement sets out the objectives, ways and means of action to be pursued in these three areas.
For example, the Group is committed to ensuring that parenthood is given better consideration across the company (100% of base salary maintained during paternity leave), to fostering the integration and retention of disabled workers and to helping employees with disabled relatives achieve an acceptable work-life balance.
