- At CMA CGM, women represent 42% of the worldwide staff and 46% of the Marseilles Head Office. A progressive position in an industry generally seen as “masculine”.
- Promotion is based on merit and skills. In 2015, many women were promoted to key positions within the Group thanks to their talent.
- CMA CGM launched a specific female mentoring program.
The Group’s training policy
- The CMA CGM Academy, our Group’s in-house university, offers training to develop women’s skills but also to highlight their experiences.
The Group’s contribution to promote a healthy work-life balance
- As an example, since 2014, CMA CGM has arranged external crèche facilities across Marseilles for Head Office staff.
The creation of an all-female network within the Group “Women @ CMA CGM”
- CMA CGM regularly organizes conferences and themed lunches for women. Influential personalities attend these events creating a bond for the Group’s women.
Tanya Saadé Zeenny
CMA CGM Executive Officer
Promotion and professional equality must lie at the heart of companies’ strategy. In the short term, I truly think it is essential to reduce inequalities that persist today - it is our duty as business leaders - and I deeply believe that companies would gain efficiency by developing equality in the workplace.
