Cornerstone is committed to creating a diverse and inclusive workplace where everyone feels included and valued for their authenticity at work.
Since March 1, 2020, companies with fewer than 250 employees have been required to publish their Gender Equality Index.
Here are the detailed Cornerstone France scores in 2023:
- Gender pay gap: 34 points out of 40
- Differences in the distribution of individual increases: 35 points out of 35
- Employees returning from maternity leave: 15 points out of 15
- Parity among the 10 highest earners: 5 points Out of 10
Cornerstone is aware of the investments needed to improve its score, so it was obvious to focus the action plan on :
- Compensation, ensuring that pay gaps are closed
- Recruitment by continuing to implement a global and local diversity and inclusion policy
- Promotion by ensuring equal opportunities for career development: each Cornerstar will continue to benefit from the same opportunities for career development, depending on the vacancies available
These actions are part of Cornerstone's core values. We're proud to be an EOE (Equal Opportunity Employer), just as we're proud of the diversity of our Cornerstars, who come from different backgrounds, feel valued for their contribution and can realize their full potential.
You can find out more about Cornerstone's actions and communications concerning professional equality on the DEIB page.

The Equity Advantage: Measuring change
Cornerstone’s fourth DEIB principle states that we collect, protect and analyze data to create equity. Discussions around DEIB data often lead to graphs of hiring trends and demographic breakdowns. While these visuals can illustrate the current state, they frequently fail to provide actionable insights or result in meaningful change. Simply seeing gaps in representation doesn’t create a path to fixing them.

The Equity Advantage: Why equity matters
In my last article, I unpacked Cornerstone's first DEIB Principle: DEIB is good for everyone, highlighting the story of Ed Roberts, a pioneer for disability inclusion. His work resulted in onramps on public sidewalks at all intersections, enabling the inclusion of those with mobility challenges in public spaces. Just as these onramps created equity and inclusion for people with wheelchairs, organizations must ensure that their talent processes, and the decision-makers who run those processes, create 'onramps' for marginalized people whose talent, aspiration and opportunity are too often 'curbed' by the systemic barriers inherent in our society and organizations.
