Gender Equality Index 2025: REEL Makes Progress
At REEL, achieving gender pay equality is a tangible priority. Introduced by the “Law for the Freedom to Choose One’s Professional Future,” the Gender Equality Index measures companies’ efforts in this area.
In 2025, REEL earned a score of 87/100 — a strong reflection of our ongoing commitment to fairness and equity.
Understanding the Gender Equality Index
Since March 2019, companies are no longer evaluated solely on their intentions, but on their tangible outcomes regarding equal pay. Equal pay for equal work is no longer a principle—it is now a measurable requirement.
The index is based on five weighted criteria, scored out of 100 points: pay gaps, salary increases, promotions, post-maternity leave conditions, and the presence of women among the highest-paid employees.
For the year 2025, REEL’s Gender Equality Index score is 87/100. This encouraging result reflects our ongoing dedication to equity.
The overall index for AEMCO cannot be calculated this year. For the two calculable indicators, AEMCO scored 35 points out of a possible 45.
The overall index for NFM cannot be calculated this year. For the three calculable indicators, NFM scored 68 points out of a possible 85.
A Workplace Committed to Gender Equality
At REEL, our HR policies reflect a deeply inclusive mindset.
We go beyond numbers to foster equal opportunities, support fair career development, and actively address unconscious bias across the organisation.
AWARE Program: Driving Equality Forward at REEL
Since 2022, our AWARE Program (Accelerate Women At REEL) has been structured around three main goals:
- Attract more women to technical careers.
- Retain female talent within the organization.
- Raise awareness of unconscious biases.
This initiative underpins our efforts to foster greater gender diversity in the workplace.
Ongoing Commitment to Gender Equality
We are committed to achieving high standards. If the index exceeds 75, we continue our efforts to progressively improve our performance and minimize any remaining gaps. Every improvement we achieve reflects our commitment to excellence.
Managers, HR teams, and employees alike: everyone at REEL plays an essential role in building a more equitable environment.
The index is updated annually, providing the framework for corrective actions in alignment with our CSR commitments and reinforcing transparency.
