The process of labelling GEEIS

The audit device

The Gender Equality European and International Standard (GEEIS) is a steering tool which allows the international companies to harmonize the practices between head quarter and its subsidiaries. For each company which applies, the head quarter as well as its subsidiaries are audited to make sure that the implemented ways to aim towards professional gender equality are of appropriate and that the tools of promotion of the Human Resources policy are ready. Certificates are delivered for 4 years with an evaluation after the first 24 months.

They give the opportunity to companies to situate themselves in a permanent improvement process and to create a common culture on gender equality with social standards that ultimately contribute to the development of a global market for equality.

They recognize the national certifications already obtained and complete them, without replacing them. These are strong signals in terms of external communication and HR, for the recruitment of executives and young graduates. It embodies the desire of exemplary companies to come together around the creation of a common culture of equality and make it a major challenge for economic competitiveness.
