Focus on QWL

A determination to live

and work well together

Inclusion, equal opportunities, wellbeing... all these key

issues are addressed through a shared Group-wide approach

designed to ensure that all our teams work in a setting that

is open, respectful of differences and compatible with the

personal fulf ilment of every individual.

Following the 2021 signature of the

f irst Group agreement on workplace

gender equality, 2022 was a year of

developing action plans for all our

French subsidiaries. Each was asked

to set its own priorities for the seven

action issues of pay, recruitment,

training, promotion/qualif ication,

working conditions and health and

safety, maternity and parenthood,

and ensure that practical action was

taken on each of them.

The level of commitment shown

at TIMAB Magnesium enabled the

company to increase its French

Gender Equality Index rating very

impressively from 65/100 in 2019

to 87/100 in 2023; an increase of

34%. More specif ically, the measures

put in place by this subsidiary have

helped to close the gender pay gap,

increase vigilance to counter any

attitude that could be construed

as discrimination in recruitment,

improve access to training for

all, and make salary adjustments

to encourage employees to take

maternity, paternity and childcare

leave through action on salaries.

Inclusion through sport

Employee health, motivation, performance... The benef its of physical activity

in the company context are well established. Our Group also sees it as a way

of asserting the right to be different by encouraging disabled employees

to get personally involved in sport. So we organise meetings, tournaments and

workshops throughout the year to introduce employees to paralympic football

and wheelchair basketball. We also sponsor the sporting exploits of one TIMAC

AGRO France employee by funding the bespoke wheelchair he uses for track

and road races, which are generally 10 km events. In this Olympic year, we have

also developed an Olympics 2024 programme of internal and external events

designed to take our relationships with partner clubs to a new level. For these

events, we have once again focused on paralympic sports, and invited Charlène

Coatantiec, a member of the French wheelchair basketball team, to introduce

herself and her sport, followed by an introductory session and tournament

to involve our employees and their partners in learning more about wheelchair

basketball�
