At Délifrance, we want to create a working environment where everyone feels respected, valued and free to be themselves, regardless of their sexual orientation and gender identity. A place where diversity is not only accepted but celebrated as a strength that enriches our company.
This is why we are committed to the inclusion of our LGBTQIA+ teams and have signed the LGBT+ Commitment Charter of L'Autre Cercle, the leading French organisation for the inclusion of LGBT+ people in the workplace.
This signature comes with an action plan that is currently being rolled out in France and internationally.
"The signing of L'Autre Cercle's LGBT+ commitment charter is an important step and the culmination of a year's work with the CSR and HR teams, the members of the internal working group and the L'Autre Cercle teams. The collective aspect of our commitment is one of the key factors in our success and a source of real pride!".
Nathalie Genebes, Délifrance’s CSR Director
Signing this charter commits us to:
· Creating an inclusive environment for LGBTQIA+ employees
· Ensuring equal rights and equal treatment for all employees, regardless of their sexual orientation and gender identity
· Supporting employees who are victims of discriminatory comments or acts
· Measuring progress and sharing good practice to improve the general working environment
Our concrete action plan
Our action plan involves large-scale awareness-raising (which took place in September 2024) and training for local managers.
We rely on a network of ambassadors, present at most of our sites, who are trained volunteers and who support us in the deployment of the tools.
In 2025, we will be publishing a best practice guide for all our teams, with definitions, language, best practices and internal resources.
"Ensuring an inclusive environment at work for LGBTQIA+ people is a commitment that Délifrance is making for the long term. We want this topic to be a fully-fledged pillar of our Diversity & Inclusion policy!"
François Barenton, Délifrance HR Director
