Abstract:
Gender equality has been a central pillar of Orange's strategy for nearly two decades, supported by dedicated internal governance and policies that actively promote women’s access to leadership positions. Through a structured approach to talent identification and selection, Orange has built a culture that prioritizes diversity, particularly in technical and digital fields, where women have historically been underrepresented. Key Features of Orange’s Gender Equality Strategy: Joint Detection and Selection Process: Orange employs a joint detection and selection process to ensure fairness and transparency in identifying potential leaders. This system is complemented by a proactive approach to identifying and promoting female talent across all levels of the company. Talent Pools and Women’s Collectives: To further highlight female talent, Orange has established talent pools and women’s collectives. These initiatives create opportunities for networking, collaboration, and professional growth within the organization, ensuring that women are visible and supported in their career progression. Development and Mentoring Programs: Women at Orange have equal access to a range of development and mentoring programs, both mixed and dedicated to female employees. These programs are designed to provide long-term career support, enabling women to grow within the company and access decision-making roles. Focus on Five Key Pillars: Promoting Gender Diversity Across Professions: Orange actively promotes gender diversity in all roles, with a particular emphasis on technical and digital fields, where women have been underrepresented.

Ambitious Targets for 2022-2024: Under the current plan, running from January 2022 to December 2024, Orange has set ambitious targets to further its commitment to gender equality: 35% female representation in decision-making positions by 2024. Eliminating the pay gap between men and women in comparable roles, ensuring that women are compensated equitably across all levels of the company.
