Vevey / Frankfurt am Main May 27, 2024 – The EQUAL-SALARY Foundation is pleased to announce that EURO 2024 Gmbh has obtained the EQUAL-SALARY certification, a symbol of excellence in terms of equal pay, for all employees of EURO 2024 in Germany. After successfully passing the statistical analysis of its salaries, EURO 2024 underwent an internal audit entrusted to Mazars proving that it applied equal pay and equal opportunities for women and men.
The EQUAL-SALARY certification is valid for 3 years, during which, the company undergoes two monitoring audits. After 3 years, if the organization wants to keep its label, it needs to renew the certification process with a new salary analysis and a full on-site audit.
“Congratulations to EURO 2024 on achieving the EQUAL-SALARY certification! This landmark accomplishment underscores their commitment to equal pay and equal opportunities for all staff, setting a powerful precedent for inclusivity and fairness in one of Europe’s premier sporting events. Their dedication to equality enriches the tournament and inspires the global sports community to champion workplace equity and follow their example”, commented Lisa Rubli co-CEO of the EQUAL-SALARY Foundation.
“Diversity and inclusion are of the utmost importance for us as an employer and a key pillar of our sustainability strategy. Receiving the equal pay certification is a great achievement in our consistent efforts to ensure an inclusive workplace of equal opportunities for all. These efforts started during the bidding process and continue during our final steps to UEFA EURO 2024 – with currently 41 different nationalities and a gender split of 57% men and 43% women we are on a good way”, added Markus Stenger, Managing Director EURO 2024.
