Achieving Excellence in Gender Equity: Excelya’s 2025 French Gender Equality Index
At Excelya, the pursuit of inclusivity, fairness, and equal opportunities isn’t just a goal—it’s a commitment embedded into the fabric of our company. Gender equality is a core value, guiding how we empower our employees to thrive both personally and professionally. The French Gender Equality Index represents an integral benchmark that allows us to measure progress, uncover areas for improvement, and strengthen our mission as allies for workplace equality.
Today, we are proud to celebrate a remarkable achievement. After scoring an impressive 93/100 on the 2024 index, Excelya has outdone itself in 2025, earning an outstanding score of 97/100! This result is not simply about numbers—it reflects our unwavering belief in creating a professional environment where everyone can excel.
What Is the French Gender Equality Index?
Introduced by the French government in 2019, the Gender Equality Index serves as a vital tool for assessing disparities between men and women in the workplace. It mandates transparency and progress, requiring French businesses with at least 50 employees to calculate and publish their score annually. The index is much more than compliance—it’s a pathway for organizations to foster equity and set goals for continuous improvement.
The Index evaluates companies based on five key criteria (relevant for businesses with over 250 employees):
Each criterion has a set weight contributing to an overall score out of 100 points, with a minimum threshold of 75 points required to avoid corrective measures. Companies scoring below 85 must set measurable objectives for improvement.

Why the Gender Equality Index Matters
The French Gender Equality Index isn’t just about scoring—it’s a larger movement that encourages every business to consciously build fair opportunity systems. Companies failing to meet certain score thresholds aren’t penalized for shortcomings but are instead guided to create actionable policies for improvement.
