NGE obtains the French government's "Professional Equality between Women and Men" label for all its entities in France

NGE is proud to announce that it has been awarded the French government's "Professional Equality between Women and Men" label by AFNOR Certification. This prestigious distinction recognizes all NGE entities in France, a remarkable achievement for a group of 26.000 employees, thus confirming its comprehensive and structured commitment to diversity, professional equality, and increasing the number of women in the construction industry.

This commitment is also reflected in the impact loan that NGE took out in 2021 (a first in France), with the number of women in management positions among the indicators assessed each year.

The official award ceremony took place in December 2025 at the Maison des Centraliens in Paris. Organized in partnership with CentraleSupélec au Féminin and AFNOR Certification, the event brought together key players in gender equality, institutional and associative partners, as well as individuals committed to a more inclusive society.

A demanding label that recognizes a comprehensive approach

The "Gender Equality in the Workplace" label recognizes organizations that implement a proactive and measurable equality policy. It is based on a rigorous framework that assesses, in particular:

governance and equality strategy,
recruitment, career and compensation practices,
the prevention of discrimination and sexism,
the balance between professional and personal life,
the operational anchoring of commitments on the ground.
A profound and ambitious transformation

Since 2017, NGE has made a strong push to increase the number of women in its teams within a historically male-dominated sector. With 12,8% women projected for 2025, compared to 8% in 2017, the Group confirms its progress and aims for 30% women by the end of 2028.

This ambition relies on key structural levers:

a proactive recruitment policy to increase the number of women in all professions, including construction roles;
dedicated mechanisms for the development of women's careers (mentoring, career guidance);
a strong commitment to parenthood and work-life balance;
awareness and prevention campaigns against sexist behavior.

To carry out these actions, NGE has structured a network of ambassadors in France and internationally, and forged partnerships with associations committed to diversity and professional equality ((Les SouterReines, Elles Bougent, CentraleSupélec au Féminin, AFMD, Force Femmes...) etc.

For NGE, professional equality is a strategic and priority issue considering that it is one of the levers of performance of the Group and contributes to its attractiveness in a sector where jobs are in high demand.
