Performance Overview
Our people: Diversity and equal opportunities
LA10
Our long-term aim is that our workforce should reflect the diversity of the society in which they work and in the case of gender, the relevant local student population (i.e. those studying microelectronics and related subjects). We do support local initiatives aimed at reducing the historic imbalance between the sexes and ensuring equal opportunities, such as 'PluriElles' in Grenoble. In France, we have also negotiated an agreement with unions aiming at developing employment of women and ensuring equality.
Global mergers and acquisitions make our ethnic make-up extremely diverse. We currently operate in 36 different countries and have a worldwide workforce composed of 80 different nationalities.

STS12b
The percentage of disabled employees in our company is 0.41. This figure is presented for the first time this year, but it cannot yet be considered reliable. This is because we have not yet defined 'disability' precisely enough to allow comparison among different countries. We will clarify this in 2006. This is a new indicator.
