HR Policies - Diversity, Inclusion and Social Policies
True to its signature, For People and The Planet, Meridiam has placed people at the centre of its concerns since its inception.
Meridiam has launched an initiative in mid-2021 to further promote professional equality between women and men. As a result of this work, new actions have been and continue to be deployed by the company in 2024, including:
- Promoting professional gender diversity in operational activities, and be an attractive and fair gender equality workplace and a supporter of work-life balance,
- Be an attractive and competitive employer and player in the market, in being inclusive in our recruitment and in our Talent Development policy & through our entire employer Branding & Employee Value proposition,
- Integrating the objectives of representation and promotion of women into the policy of forward-looking management of skills to identify bridges between professions,
- Intensifying partnerships with schools to attract talented women in engineering and finance and develop Meridiam’s visibility within networks.
Meridiam is also a signatory of the France invest charter for gender parity, which aims to promote gender diversity in private equity. One of the stated ambitions is to reach 25% of women in the investment committee (vs 13% in 2024), 25% of women in senior positions by 2030, then 30% by 2035 (vs 19% in 2024). And 40% of women in all positions in the investment teams by 2030 (vs 28% in 2024).
Meridiam’s 2023 gender equality index is 86/100. This index measures professional equality and the pay gap between women and men. This tool, intended for companies with at least 50 employees, is based on five criteria: the pay gap between women and men, the gap in annual increases, the gap in promotions, increases on return from maternity leave, and the share of women in the company’s ten highest salaries.
Our score in 2023 is due to long-term initiatives and actions such as the increased recruitment of women in operational functions but also of young women via a partnership with the Fondation des Ponts, or the implementation of a dedicated professional development plan for women with potential. Meridiam continues to promote Professional Equality through the implementation of an HR policy within the framework of the Professional Equality and Gender initiative through working groups, information and prevention sessions, and awareness raising.
Meridiam’s gender diversity will be a source of innovation and economic performance, and will play a sustainable role in Meridiam’s development, considering current and future societal changes.
To support its employees’ parenthood, Meridiam has a partnership with a local childcare network in France, guaranteeing priority cradles for parents of newborn.
Meridiam has also a charter entitled “Family and career policy“, based on 5 main themes:
- Planning the expected duration of leave and preparing for the return,
- Maintaining the link between the employee and the company during the leave period,
- Facilitating work flexibility before and after the leave. This includes full autonomy in the management of working time to reconcile with personal life (e.g. medical appointments) and the search for childcare facilities,
- Commitments to encourage and promote professional development and career advancement upon return from leave,
- Application of the law concerning the impact on remuneration and maintenance of salary during paternity leave.
