Women managers at SNCF Group: indicators for 2024
SNCF is 100% on board with promoting gender equality in the workplace. And since most of the roles in our business are in technical fields, we’ve introduced a range of initiatives to attract and hire women, including for executive positions.
Our progress in 2024
In 2024, SNCF companies hired more women in senior management and as members of governing bodies.
Rixain Law
Equal and transparent representation
To increase women’s participation in the economy and in business, France’s Rixain Law of 24 December 2021 introduced mandatory quotas to ensure balanced representation of women and men in senior management and on governing bodies in large companies. It also required businesses to report transparently on this issue.
Companies with at least 1,000 employees
The law introduced new rules for companies with a workforce of at least 1,000 employees over the past 3 years.
These businesses are now required to calculate and publicly disclose gender representation statistics for their senior management and governing bodies by 1 March each year.
Targeting 30% female representation
Companies must ensure that no gender is underrepresented in senior management and governing bodies. The law fixes the minimum threshold at 30% by 1 March 2026. This will increase to 40% on 1 March 2029, with companies given 2 years to comply or face financial penalties.
