For more than 30 years, Casino Group has been committed to preventing discrimination and promoting diversity.
Gender equality in the workplace is one of the Group’s major commitments. Casino Group clearly demonstrate this commitment by mixing its teams at all levels of the company through an active policy in favor of professional equality. In 2019, it obtained the renewal of the Diversity and Gender Equality label, awarded by the Afnor for its Casino and Monoprix brands. Since September 2022, the entire Group in France bears this label label following the label renewal and extension audit, and now also includes Franprix and Cnova (Cdiscount).
Casino Group, is committed to ensuring that women enjoy the same rights and career opportunities as men.
OUR POLICY AND OUR COMMITMENTS
In 2016, we joined the Women’s Empowerment Principles (WEPs) carried out by ONU Femmes to strengthen the Group’s commitment and actions to fight against discrimination and promote gender equality in France and in Latin America.
We signed the “Manifesto for Diversity and against sexism” that was put together by Casino group’s gender equality network, itself created in 2011. It was signed by all the members of the Group’s Executive Committee as well as all the members of the steering committees of its French entities and top management in Brazil. Through this action, Casino Group reaffirms its firm intention to be a leading and exemplary player in the progress towards equality and diversity.
This Manifesto is structured around five key priorities that have been all translated into concrete actions: Combating gender discrimination and sexism – Ensuring professional equality for all throughout the career – Recruiting women – Supporting Parenthood – Acting for Gender Equality around the world.
We signed agreements on professional equal opportunity with social partners. For example, the Group Collective Agreement signed by Casino on September 7, 2021 has led to the creation of a leadership training course for women, called « Si Elles ».
For 2023, as published in 2024, the professional equality index (weighted average index) for all Group entities in France is 95/100.
