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.

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.

Have you ever heard the proverb “May you live in interesting times?” On its face, it reads as a blessing, but the irony is that living in interesting times can feel more like a burden. We certainly are living in interesting times – a time where the world order as we know it feels imperiled, the future of humanity is at risk due to climate change, fact and fiction are harder than ever to distinguish due to social media, polarization seems to force more and more of us into our own echo-chambers, and workforces and workplaces are changing rapidly due to AI, automation, and societal shifts.
