GEODIS commits to equal opportunities

GEODIS is continuing to act on its pledge to champion equality in the logistics industry. Today, the company is holding its annual “GEODIS Women’s Network” (GWN) summit.

“We want to continue the action we have already initiated and give women the means to access key positions. Our goal is to increase the number of women in managerial positions,” commented Mario Ceccon, executive vice president human resources for GEODIS group. “At 13% in 2017, women now hold 18% of leadership positions. We are aiming for 25% by 2023.”

The GWN is a worldwide network open to all employees, supported by Senior Management, and energised by an active steering committee made up of women and men from various countries in which the Group is active (France, Germany, Denmark, Singapore, the USA, etc.), and representative of various functions such as: Human Resources, Operations and the Group Management Board. The GWN acts to promote inclusion, reduce professional disparities between men and women, improve the balance between work and private life and provide equal career prospects. “With a woman as CEO, GEODIS is already signalling loud and clear that women have access to leadership positions” says Mario Ceccon.

Over the next 3 years, the GWN will concentrate its actions on the following objectives: Studying and harmonising possible wage disparities; establishing a program aimed at placing more women in leadership positions; increasing the recruitment of women and women’s representation in the transport and logistics industry as a whole
