MONTREAL, Sept. 19, 2019 /CNW Telbec/ - (NYSE: CAE)
(TSX: CAE) – CAE has been awarded the Bronze-level certification by
Women in Governance for its efforts in promoting gender parity
in the workplace.
"Just over a year ago we launched a diversity and inclusion
initiative aimed at strengthening the participation of women in our
sector, which is traditionally dominated by men. I took it on as a
personal mission to make sure the women of CAE realize their full
potential as equal partners with men on the labour market and have
all the opportunities for advancement. I am delighted that our
efforts are already being recognized and rewarded, and this is only
a beginning," said Marc Parent,
CAE's President and Chief Executive Officer.
The certification is based on an assessment of the strategy,
actions and results obtained by an organization seeking to increase
the representation of women in senior management as well as
throughout corporate ranks. A committee of members from Women in
Governance, assisted by McKinsey & Company, Mercer and
Willis Towers Watson, is tasked with
making this assessment.
This award follows the recognition CAE received earlier this
year as one of only 230 companies worldwide selected for inclusion
in Bloomberg's Gender-Equality Index (GEI). This index brings
together pioneering companies that are committed to transparency in
the disclosure of information on gender in the workplace.
CAE will be present, along with 47 parity-certified
organizations, at Women in Governance's Annual Recognition Gala,
which will be held in Montreal on
Wednesday, September 25, 2019.
