La Poste is committed to increasing the proportion of women at all levels of the hierarchy, while stepping up its fight against discrimination and violence against women.

More and more professional equality

Gender equality is a key priority within the group. The sixth agreement on gender equality in the workplace, signed in 2025, reinforces La Poste's exemplary role in this area, strengthens existing policies, and sets new goals. It aims to enable La Poste to make progress in three key areas: continuing the fight against sexism and violence, promoting gender diversity across all professions, and increasing the proportion of women in senior management positions. The agreement also introduces new measures related to inclusion, overall health, and support for parents.

In accordance with the Rixain Law, which aims to increase the representation of women in the governing bodies of companies with more than 1,000 employees, La Poste's indicators for 2025 are :

- For senior management : 39.32% female representation (compared to 37.4% in 2024) ;

- For the company's governing bodies: a representation of women of 39.13% (vs 43.5% in 2024).

The “Un.e” network, launched at the end of 2019, encourages discussion and reflection on gender equality and parity within the group. It brings together 730 ambassadors and organizes communication, training, and awareness-raising activities, notably through a newsletter, podcasts, and mentoring programs.

Preventing and combating sexism are supported by a comprehensive approach: training, awareness workshops, and participation in the inter-company #StOpE initiative.
