BREAKDOWN OF GROUP WORKFORCE by occupational category

BREAKDOWN OF GROUP WORKFORCE by gender

Internal mobility, both occupational and geographical, also helps employees develop more fulfilling careers. Employees can view and apply for jobs via the Group Mobility Database, which is open to all employees. In 2013/2014, one out of every five jobs in France was filled internally. Internal mobility is also facilitated in France by Mobility forums which take place every two months and are attended by HR managers and recruiters from different companies.

Committed to professional gender equality

Zodiac Aerospace is committed to increasing the number of women in positions of responsibility or technical jobs. It has made three undertakings which have been implemented in France and are currently being studied for roll-out in other countries. The first is to offer training courses, preferably leading to a degree, to women who are starting or finishing maternity or parental leave.

Secondly, the Group will ensure that women starting or ending maternity leave are not penalized in terms of wage increases compared to other employees. The third undertaking consists of publishing recruitment and promotion statistics for women working in Group entities. If any differences are found between the percentage of women recruited or promoted and the reference population, corrective action is taken. »

STRONG VALUES HIGH ETHICAL AND MANAGERIAL REQUIREMENTS

The Group's Manager's Charter was signed in end of 2013 by the Executive Committee and was shared and supported by division directors. It contains the principles and obligations that managers need to promote and observe. Distributed to all sites and available on the intranet, it is divided into six chapters: ethics; communication and representation; management; property and financial management; business relationships with customers, suppliers and competitors; and health, safety, the environment and quality. The Charter forms the basis of leadership training and is available in four languages.

In addition, all Group employees must respect the principles of integrity, honesty, fairness and protection decreed in the Group's Code of Ethics which is given to all new employees. Its principles are inspired by the values of humility, realism, an entrepreneurial spirit and respect, which have shaped the Group's culture. They are supplemented by provisions, strengthened in 2013, related to the fight against corruption and prevention of conflicts of interest.
