Our five employer convictions

Proof of our effectiveness is the fact that our Export clients recommend Business France, with a Net Promoter Score (NPS) of 7.7/10.

Lastly, we created the VIE International Internship Program, which will see export businesses in November 2024 rely on 11,500 talented young graduates and young professionals aged 18 to 28.

We value all kinds of career development, starting with advancement in one's job through experience and training.

We value all career paths, both short and long, to develop employability, both internally and externally.

We’ve already taken important steps in favor of professional gender equality, with a score of 91/100 on the Professional Equality Index for Men and Women for 2023:

• Gender pay gap: 36/40.
• Difference in individual increase rates (excluding promotions) between men and women: 20/20.
• Gender promotion gap between men and women: 15/15.
• Percentage of employees who received a raise in the year of their return from maternity leave: 15/15.
• Number of employees of the under-represented sex among the ten employees having received the highest remuneration: 5/10.

We’re focusing our future efforts on achieving a balance within management positions and in particular within the international network (where women count for one-third of country directors to date).

We pay close attention to intergenerational cohesion within the company. It is the subject of dedicated measures and a growing investment on the part of management.

We believe in the right to disconnect, which we defend through the use of good practices on a global scale. In France, a framework agreement limits the use of professional messaging services between 8.30pm and 8.00am the following day.

Lastly, our managers are supported and trained to ensure they embody our business culture values.

We’ve also set up an HR unit dedicated to supporting individual situations. We facilitate access to daycare centers for our employees who are parents of young children. We also offer Vouchers for Universal Employment Services (CESU) for the employment of people in the areas of childcare, assistance to people with disabilities and services to people at home relating to household and family chores.

Our aim?

To reduce our greenhouse gas emissions by 25% by 2030, knowing that a large part of these are linked to our travels around the world.

We also evaluate the impact of each of our missions and offer, for example, the possibility for our customers to participate, via a carbon contribution, in projects with a positive impact. Lastly, we’re gradually implementing the 15 measures of the French government’s ecological transformation plan for Eco-Responsible Public Services.

In terms of the quality of life at work, we provide a clear framework for our employees, to reduce any psycho-social risks, harassment and discomfort at work. Our policy guarantees zero tolerance towards any form of violence at work, whether it be physical, sexual, moral or psychological. To ensure this, we have dedicated units, both internally and externally, with specialized experts who will listen and offer advice and support.
