Gender equality
easyJet works hard to create an environment where women
have the opportunity to build careers in all communities and at
all management levels of the organisation, by ensuring there is
a pipeline of women coming up through the organisation.
The Company believes that a significant issue for women in
business is the lack of female executives at senior management
level. Currently too many women are leaving work and the business
community is losing a lot of talent before enough women get
to executive positions.

FEMALE REPRESENTATION
easyJet is a signatory to the “think, act, report” campaign which
promotes equal opportunities for women in the workplace. The
campaign provides a simple step-by-step framework to help
companies think about gender equality in their workforces,
particularly in relation to recruitment, retention, promotion and pay.
The Company has two female Directors on its Board: the Chief
Executive and the Chairs of the Audit and Finance Committees.
The Board continues to have a 20% female make-up.
As shown on page 50, 45% (5 of 11) of easyJet's Executive
Management Team are women, up from 4 of 11 in 2014.
Middle managers will provide the pipeline for future senior managers
and increasing the number of women in this group is an important
part of our strategy to grow the number of women in our Senior
Management Team.
