26% of the EDF group’s workforce is currently female (30.3% at EDF SA), which places it in the top half of the main French industrial groups. Although the increase in this rate has slowed slightly in recent years (impact of the “15 years, 3 children” measure, reduction in the number of new hires), it is still increasing at double the average rate of French companies, for all sectors combined (1).
EDF strives to guarantee equal access to professional and promotional training, through, for example, a scheme to cover addition childcare costs for parents undergoing training, with a view to securing comparable career paths for women and men.
The percentage of women in the Group’s management has doubled since 2002, almost reaching 29% in 2021.

Details for women on the Management Committees: a key performance indicator for the Group
The key performance indicator used by the Group for “Equality, diversity, inclusion” is the percentage of women among the Management Committees of Group entities. Women formed 29.8% of Management Committee members in 2021, an increase of 1.1 points. The methodology associated with this indicator is described in section 3.6 “Methodology”.
Over 10 years, the percentage of women in the Group’s Management Committee has increased by almost 50% (it was slightly less than 20% at the end of 2011). It also reflects the dynamic observed, more generally, in the Company’s managerial body becoming more female.
Succession plans for senior management positions are always mixed-gender. Schemes (such as TALENTS 2.0) help identify a more diverse range of talent, at all stages of the career path.

Analyses have been carried out at the Division level, and social dialogue on the subject is ongoing (see section 3.5.3 “Social dialogue”).
