Achieving Full Pay Parity
In its efforts towards gender equality, Criteo has focused in on providing wage parity across genders. The company has closed the salary gap of men and women to zero, reaching full pay parity regardless of gender. Moving forward, as part of its Pay Parity Action Plan, the company has committed to regular gender pay equity analysis and will remedy any discrepancies as appropriate. Furthermore, in order to remove bias, all internal and external applicants will be assessed by their relevant skills and experience against internal and external compensation benchmarking data in order to determine a suitable offer, rather than historical salary levels.
“At Criteo, we strive to foster a diverse and inclusive culture that aligns with our greater corporate strategy and values, and we realize that in order to drive change, we need to t**********. Our achievement in closing the pay gap companywide is just the first step in our greater plan and I am thrilled to have Rachel join the team to continue these efforts and accelerate Criteo’s journey to becoming fully equitable,” said Denis Collin, Chief People Officer at Criteo. “She has been a positive agent of change at multiple organizations throughout her career and I am confident that she will do the same for Criteo.”
