Created in 2018, the professional equality index between women and men helps to fight against gender salary inequalities. Mandatory in all companies with at least 50 employees, the index is calculated from 4 to 5 indicators giving a score of up to 100. If the result obtained is less than 75, the company will have to implement actions in order to reach at least this score.
Already strongly committed to this approach, EMI publishes its index with a score of 89/100. The company will try to improve this score every year.
With eight members, EMI'sExecutive Committee is formedby the three members of the Wissler family, representing the functions of President, Executive Director and Project and R&D Manager, as well as five other members from the Industrial, Project, Production, Mechanical and Sales Departments.
The Board is responsible for the company's strategy, and acts with the goal of developing collective performance in order to exceed the sum of individual performance.
