BRGM's commitment to gender equality in the workplace

BRGM is committed to gender equality in the workplace, in compliance with the French Act of 4 August 2014 and the company-level agreement on diversity and gender equality at work, signed on 19 February 2021 by BRGM's management and 3 trade unions.

Equality in the workplace means ensuring that there is no discrimination within the company. The challenge for BRGM is to achieve true equality between men and women at work, in particular by precluding sexism at work in all its forms, and by promoting equal pay, gender parity at management level and a gender-balanced workforce.
