Egality Index 2022

Under the law for the freedom to choose one’s professional future, enacted on September 5, 2018, the video game development studio, Shiro Games, has published the results of its gender equality index.

For the year 2022, Shiro Games received an overall score of 75/100, broken down as follows:

• “Pay gap” indicator: 29/40
• “Individual salary increase gap” indicator: 35/35
• “Salary increase after maternity leave” indicator: not calculable
• “10+ highest salaries” indicator: 0/10

In accordance with applicable legislative and regulatory provisions, progress targets are set to improve Shiro Games’ score for each of the following indicators:

• The pay gap
• The number of employees of the underrepresented gender among the top ten highest salaries.

Gender diversity is an integral part of the studio’s development and culture.

I – ON THE PAY GAP INDICATOR

The company received a score of 29/40 points on this indicator.

It should be noted that:

• Given the lack of representation of women in the video game industry, women make up 20% of Shiro Games’ total workforce. Despite the efforts made by the studio, women are underrepresented in the company’s overall workforce, particularly in the socioeconomic category (CSP) “30 to 39 years old” for which the gap was observed.
• For the “Engineer and Manager under 30” category, which includes the majority of the studio’s population, no gap was observed.

Pay equality is an essential component of any policy aimed at ensuring gender equality in the workplace. Therefore, Shiro Games has set several goals in this area for the 2023-2024 exercise to come closer to the 40 points by reducing the pay gap in favor of men.

Recruitment

Shiro Games will continue to pursue an active recruitment process to ensure a balanced representation of both genders in applications.

Equality of pay at recruitment

Shiro Games is committed to continuing to ensure pay equality between women and men at recruitment. Thus, any employee hired during the 2023-2024 exercise will receive compensation equal to that of another employee in the same position with equivalent professional experience.

Grouping method

The method of rating by socio-professional category (CSP) is not satisfactory. The studio’s objective is to develop a more appropriate rating method: to provide a distribution by position, defined by level or hierarchical coefficient according to the conventional classification or according to another job rating method in order to refine the analysis of pay gaps.

Access to professional training

Shiro Games will continue its training policy and will continue to ensure that everyone, regardless of their classification and gender, receives the necessary training to develop professional skills and adapt to studio developments.

II. ON THE INDICATOR RELATING TO GENDER PARITY IN THE TOP TEN HIGHEST SALARIES

The company aims to increase, as far as possible, the number of employees of the underrepresented gender in this index.

To this end, Shiro Games undertakes to:

• Ensure equal treatment between women and men in terms of salary progression and internal promotion to positions of responsibility.
• Ensure equal treatment of applications from both genders, particularly in the case of recruitment for management positions.

III MONITORING AND ADVERTISING MEASURES

To ensure the effectiveness of this progress target plan, it will be published in accordance with applicable legislation. An assessment will be conducted each year with the new publication of the Gender Equality Index, and new objectives will be set if necessary.
