SNCF’s commitment to LGBT+ people
Our company is committed to promoting LGBT+ inclusion and combating discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender identity. SNCF Group and Keolis have signed the charter of the association L’Autre Cercle.
Every employee should be able to thrive, regardless of sexual orientation and gender identity. That’s why SNCF Group signed the Commitment Charter of the non-profit L’Autre Cercle (The Other Circle) on 16 May 2023. On December 15, 2025, its subsidiary Keolis also signed the charter.

Fighting discrimination for over a decade
For more than 10 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 LGBT+ employees, raising awareness on a massive scale, and creating an inclusive workplace that makes life better for LGBT+ employees.
« Gare! », the Group's LGBT+ association
In addition, since 2013, the SNCF has had a partnership agreement with ‘Gare!’, the association for Lesbian, Gay, Bi and Trans people in our Group, for awareness-raising, information and support initiatives for employees. Our parenting guide has also been adapted to include same-sex parent families, so that we can better respond to requests for support and information from our LGBT+ employees.
