Summary

A framework to promote professional equality
La Poste Groupe makes professional equality a major pillar of its social policy and deploys numerous initiatives in this area. Six social agreements guarantee its implementation. The latest professional equality agreement, signed in 2025, sets new ambitions around three priority areas: continuing the fight against sexism and violence against women at work, strengthening gender diversity in all the Group's professions, and increasing the proportion of women among senior executives. It introduces new measures in terms of inclusion, overall health and support for parenthood.
La Poste, for example, has extended all parenthood-related measures to all family configurations - including same-sex couples - such as leave, shift rotations, associated arrangements, etc. The company also supports transgender individuals in their journey within the company, with adapted HR monitoring and procedures.
To demonstrate its commitment to creating an inclusive and respectful work environment for all identities, La Poste signed the LGBT+ Commitment Charter of the association L'Autre Cercle for the third time in 2025, under which signatories pledge to guarantee equal rights and treatment for employees, regardless of their sexual orientation and gender identity.
La Poste Groupe implements a zero-tolerance policy towards sexism based on awareness, prevention and training for managers and employees. On the issue of domestic violence, it has put in place a comprehensive system: social support, days off granted for administrative or medical procedures, etc.
Actions to promote gender equality
To embed this policy in the daily lives of teams, La Poste Groupe relies on concrete initiatives. The Une gender equality network, launched at the end of 2019, brings together ambassadors and organises communication, training and awareness-raising actions around professional equality. Awareness of sexism is also supported by training, workshops and participation in the inter-company initiative #StOpE, which aims to pool energies to combat so-called ordinary sexism at work.
