Icade scores 99/100 on the gender equality index

Here are the details of the points obtained:

• Pay gap: 39 out of 40 points
• Gap in individual increases: 20 out of 20 points
• Promotion gap: 15 out of 15 points
• Percentage of employees receiving a raise on return from maternity leave: 15 out of 15 points
• Number of employees of the under-represented sex among the highest paid: 10 out of 10 points
