AFNOR EQUALITY AND DIVERSITY CERTIFICATION RENEWED FOR ANOTHER 4 YEARS

The Festival d’Aix-en-Provence is delighted to announce that its dual AFNOR certification for Gender Equality in the Workplace and Diversity has been renewed for another four years. This honour recognises the Festival’s teams’ ongoing commitment to equal opportunities, inclusion, and the fight against all forms of discrimination.

Established by the French government, this dual certification represents an official recognition awarded by an independent body. Organisations applying for certification are evaluated on a rigorous set of criteria. The process involves submitting a comprehensive application and undergoing a multi-day on-site audit every two years, comprising numerous interviews.

Areas assessed include recruitment and career-development practices, pay equality, access to training, work-life balance, and the prevention of sexual harassment and sexist behaviour.

The renewal of this dual certification reflects the Festival’s determination to maintain its long-term commitment to these issues and pursue a process of continuous improvement for the benefit of its entire staff.
