Every employee should be able to thrive, regardless of sexual orientation and gender identity. That’s why SNCF Group renewed the Commitment Charter of the non-profit L’Autre Cercle (The Other Circle) on 17 June 2026.

This document aims to make employers a driving force in ensuring an inclusive working environment for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex and asexual people, and for all those who do not identify as heterosexual and/or cisgender (LGBTQIA+).

The French non-profit L’Autre Cercle has supported LGBTQIA+ workers and employers since 1997. The charter was drafted in 2013 to address LGBTQIA+ issues in promotion and diversity policies, and help signatory employers prevent discrimination.

In signing the charter, SNCF Group and Keolis have committed to:

• create an inclusive environment for LGBTQIA+ employees
• ensure equal rights and equal treatment for all employees, regardless of sexual orientation and gender identity
• support employees who are the victims of discriminatory speech or actions
• measure our progress and share best practices to improve all working environments

For the past 15 years, we’ve fought against all forms of LGBT-phobia and discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity. We adopted a prevention plan that applies to every company in SNCF Group. It focuses on 3 main aims: fighting exclusion of and discrimination against LGBTQIA+ employees, raising awareness on a massive scale, and creating an inclusive workplace that makes life better for LGBTQIA+ employees.
