Diversity, Inclusion & Talents
Placing people at the heart of our CSR strategy
At ALTEN, we understand that diversity and inclusion are essential in building an innovative and sustainable future. With a team of over 57,000 talents spread across more than 30 countries, our strength lies in the diversity of our employees and our commitment to support them in their career development. Our human policy focuses on three main axes: gender equality, inclusion in all its diversity, and our talent development.
Promoting feminization of scientific professions
Since its creation, ALTEN has been determined to integrate more women into its teams. Aware of the challenges related to the under-representation of women in our sector, we actively work to reverse this trend through targeted initiatives aimed at attracting and supporting female talents.
Since 2015, we have seen significant progress, with an increase in female representation reaching 31% in 2023 within the Group. This commitment is manifested by our support for the feminization of scientific professions, encouraging young women to consider careers in engineering while ensuring equal treatment and a balance between professional and personal life.
Our key initiatives and commitments :
Charter for gender diversity
By signing the engineering charter for gender diversity, we reaffirm our desire to enhance gender diversity in our sector.
Women’s Empowerment Principles
