DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION 1.4.2.2
The diverse range of profiles within Ubisoft provides the creativity and innovation the Company needs
to stay at the forefront of innovation and technology. Diversity is at the heart of video game production.
The process of creating a video game involves a high level of cooperation among teams with different
backgrounds and training. Cultural diversity, gender mix and age diversity are a source of creativity
and help teams to improve their understanding of consumers’ expectations and respond to their needs
throughout the world.
1.4.2.2.1 Measures taken to encourage gender equality
Of the 8,268 employees, 21% are women and 79% are men. This breakdown is attributable to the fact
that 85% of Group staff (See 1.4.2.1.1) are in Ubisoft's core business, video game production, which
primarily attracts men. Women hold 39% of the business-related positions (marketing, sales, etc.)
within the Group and represent 27% of top management employees.
The situation is evolving gradually, with more and more women gaming, which translates into an
increase in the rate of female hires (25% at end-March 2013 compared with 19% at end-March 2012)
and therefore an automatic increase in the female employment rate.
Men and women are given the same level of access to training and skill development.
The male-female pay ratio, at an equivalent contribution level, is 102% for teams with a full-time, open-
ended or fixed-term, contract within the Group.
The Group continues to ensure equal treatment of men and women.
