CEO of the FDJ, Stéphane Pallez, said: “Diversity is a societal fight that has progressed, but a lot of effort is still to be made.
“The FDJ is strongly invested in the field of gender equality. We are convinced of the need for a collective commitment at all levels of the company and in all business ,” she added.
Pallez concluded: “The #JamaisSansElles charter of the FDJ illustrates our desire to go even further in the group’s commitment. It is the fruit of collaborative work.”
