Vevey/Geneva, March 15, 2024 – The EQUAL-SALARY Foundation is pleased to announce that Vacheron Constantin Branch of Richemont International has obtained the EQUAL-SALARY certification for the second time for all its employees in Switzerland. The international EQUAL-SALARY certification is a symbol of excellence in terms of equal pay and equal opportunities, combining a statistical analysis of all the salaries and an on-site audit entrusted to PwC. With our certification, Vacheron Constantin proves that it applies equal pay and equal opportunities for women and men.
The global EQUAL-SALARY certification is valid for 3 years, during which, the company undergoes two monitoring audits. After 3 years, the organization needs to renew the certification process with a new salary analysis and a full on-site audit.
« I am delighted that Vacheron Constantin has renewed its EQUAL-SALARY certification, demonstrating its great confidence in our label and certification process. Like ISO standards, EQUAL-SALARY guarantees year after year a process of continuous improvement that shapes fair and just companies. In fine watchmaking, as in many other technical professions, labour is scarce, and it is vital to recruit and retain talent. EQUAL-SALARY serves, among other things, to support certified companies in this process », commented Noémie Storbeck co-CEO of the EQUAL-SALARY Foundation.
“Our relentless quest for excellence and exceptional craftsmanship is rooted in the belief that a workplace thrives when every individual is respected, valued, and fairly compensated. At Vacheron Constantin, equity and fairness are fundamental values that underpin our strategic direction. We celebrate the renewal of our EQUAL-SALARY certification and remain committed to ensuring Vacheron Constantin is an organisation where equal opportunity is not an aspiration, but a lived reality », added Louis Ferla, CEO of Vacheron Constantin.
