Sogefi has over 3,900 employees worldwide, spread over the 14 countries where the Group has facilities.

People are Sogefi’s main success factor; the contribution of each single employee to the Group’s growth has always been the winning ingredient that has allowed us to achieve international leadership over the years.

The integration of different cultures, experiences, habits and languages forms a consistent approach which has enabled the Group to broaden and consolidate its presence worldwide. For Sogefi, this represents a core value that has generated a team spirit found at every level in the Company.

Our multinational teams are made up of people who are willing to challenge themselves and are fully focused on the future. They are the engine that drives the Company forward, with pride and passion, towards ever higher growth, innovation and leadership objectives.

At Sogefi, we are convinced that diversity and inclusion are a source of performance and innovation, and we remain committed to working together to build a respectful and more balanced working environment where each and every one of us can fully express our potential. The promotion of professional equality between women and men is therefore a strong commitment that is fully integrated into our human resources policy.

Based on the women and men equality index defined by the French Government and composed of five criteria that assess inequalities in companies, since 2018 Sogefi evaluates its French entities on:

• The average pay between women and men (up to 40 points)
• The individual annual salary increase between women and men (up to 20 points)
• The internal promotions between women and men (up to 15 points)
• The women’s pay rises after maternity leave (up to 15 points)
• The number of women among the ten highest salaries of the Company (up to 10 points)

In 2024, Sogefi overall improved its results:

• Sogefi Air & Cooling SAS scored 91/100
• Sogefi Suspensions SA scored 87/100
• United Springs scored 84/100

This index will be reevaluated each year on these criteria and results will be published before March 1st.

You will find below the result for each criterion assessed:  

*Given the number of staff at United Springs, the index is calculated differently. The individual increase gap is calculated on 35 points and the internal promotion gap is not taken into account

**Not calculable

Following the example of Sogefi A&C and Suspensions SA, United Spring will continue its efforts to strengthen gender diversity and promote women's access to positions of responsibility, thus contributing to a more inclusive and equitable industry in line with the actions carried out over the past several years to advance the place of women in our sector.

 Progress targets for United Springs for the coming year:

• Reduce the average pay gap between women and men, ensuring equal pay for equal skills and responsibilities.
• Develop skills through targeted training courses that promote professional development.
• Increase the proportion of women among the 10 highest-paid employees
• Identify, support and retain female talent through the Talent Review.
