New publication in line with French law

As of 1st March 2020, EPEX SPOT applies a new French legal requirement in Gender Equality management.

EPEX SPOT hereby publishes the result of the gender equality index, which stands at 88/100 for 2019.

The new index is based on 4 indicators, leading to the global score:

1. Equal pay: calculation of the pay gap between women and men, calculated on the average of the remuneration of women compared to men (33/40)
2. Individual Pay rises: difference between the number of women who had a wage increase compared to the number of men (35/35)
3. Wage increases after maternity leave: percentage of women who received a wage increase during the year upon their return from maternity leave (15/15)
4. Gender repartition among most highly paid employees: two women are among the most highly paid employees (5/10)

EPEX SPOT’s commitment to gender equality – What we have done over the past five years.

EPEX SPOT has promoted gender equality for years through concrete actions and company agreements and is committed to continuing to do so. We encourage equal opportunities for women and men in recruitment, internal mobility, training and career development. We care for a better work-life balance for both male and female employees. We aim at a fair and non-discriminatory pay system with equal pay for equivalent performance and skills.

• Since 2014, a dedicated budget of 40k€ per year is allocated to correct the pay gap between women and men. The budget allocation is part of the mandatory company agreement negotiated in France.
• Since 2015, paternity leaves are paid within the same conditions as maternity leaves.
• In 2018, a home office company agreement was implemented across all locations to ensure a better work-life balance.
• Every year, during the salary increase process, the pay gap between men and women is analysed and corrected by the Human Resources Department and the Management Board.
