Gender equality in CAE

CAE has always been committed to rewarding merit and talent, and since 2024 has formalised this commitment by also obtaining the UNI/PdR 125:2022 gender equality certification: Measures to ensure gender equality in the workplace for the following processes: Design, production, installation and service of systems, hardware and software equipment and environmental monitoring systems.

CAE recognises equality, in particular gender equality, respect for diversity, inclusion and the fight against all forms of violence and discrimination as fundamental conditions to achieve its corporate goals. These values are set out in black and white in the Charter of Values, a document intended for anyone who collaborates with CAE in any capacity, and that describes the company's commitment to following and promoting its corporate culture.

The Company protects these values by guaranteeing suitable working environments and conditions that respect gender equality. Fostering diversity and inclusion also, and above all, means caring for the psycho-physical well-being of employees, including through specific initiatives to raise awareness of discrimination.

"The management's commitment to rewarding merit, regardless of gender, is well established, but it was important to formalise it. We are proud of this certification, which gives us incentives and opportunities to improve further, including by promoting awareness-raising and training initiatives,” says lawyer Laura Cornacchia, a member of the Gender Equality Committee, “Establishing a dedicated body guarantees that the goals are constantly monitored, and can certainly be a valuable reference point in the company. Furthermore, we have decided to become a Love Company, that is, a company that promotes and supports concrete social activities under the banner of equality and the fight against discrimination.”

Gender equality is also the subject of Goal No. 5 of the 17 defined by the 2030 Agenda – Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) – and, in this context, CAE also strives to play its part.
