Our headquarters in Belgium, Brazil, Germany, India and France have reached the first of three levels of EDGE certification, EDGE Assess, which demonstrates commitment to gender equity in the workplace. This level officially recognizes our commitment and will be followed by a concrete action plan.
EDGE is the leading global assessment and business certification for gender and intersectional equity. The certification process involves a rigorous third-party review of representation across the organization, pay equity, effectiveness of policies and practices, and inclusiveness of a company’s culture. EDGE certification is an important step in our Journey to Gender Parity and Inclusion.
From the moment I joined Tractebel as a Project Management Officer over a year ago, I found myself in an environment of professionalism, dynamism, productivity, excellence and mutual respect. These are values that I think every woman looks for in a company: to grow and develop professionally within a positive environment, without sacrificing physical, intellectual or emotional well-being. I know from experience that Tractebel encompasses all of it. The Journey to Gender Parity is integral to healthy companies, and Tractebel undoubtedly promotes, values and is committed to a positive environment for its people.
