Vevey / Fribourg, 14 January 2025 – The EQUAL-SALARY Foundation is pleased to announce that the City of Fribourg in Switzerland has obtained the EQUAL-SALARY certification, a symbol of excellence in terms of equal pay, for all employees of the City of Fribourg in Switzerland for the 6th time. After successfully passing the statistical analysis of its salaries, City of Fribourg underwent an internal audit entrusted to Forvis 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. “The exceptional commitment of the City of Fribourg, which has been awarded the EQUAL-SALARY label for the sixth consecutive time, is an exemplary model of transparency and social responsibility regarding equality. Each new round of certification attests to continuous improvement and guarantees that equal pay and equal opportunities remain priorities for the city, meticulously integrated and lived out daily by every employee. This perseverance testifies to an extraordinary attention to and commitment to the cause of equality”, commented Noémie Storbeck co-CEO of the EQUAL-SALARY Foundation. “EQUAL-SALARY certified since 2009, the City of Fribourg is proud to continue to make equal pay one of the priorities of its personnel policy. Its commitment, recognized by this label, is an integral part of Fribourg's corporate culture”, added Thierry Steiert, Mayor of the City of Fribourg.
