"Gender Equality Law"
 
FBO has established its 2025 Gender Equality Index and obtained a score of 30 out of 60 obtainable points, as the overall score out of 100 points cannot be calculated.
 
The scores obtained for each indicator are as follows:
Pay gap indicator: Not calculable
Individual salary increase gap indicator: 25
Maternity leave return indicator: 0
High salary indicator: 5
 
The pay gap indicator could not be calculated because the number of employees within the relevant comparison groups represents less than 40% of the total workforce considered for the calculation of the indicators.
 
Management remains committed to maintaining its efforts and momentum in promoting pay equality and gender diversity, as it has done over the past several years.
 
The company is committed to ensuring equal pay at the time of hiring for the same position, with equivalent skills and professional experience.
 
The company also commits to eliminating any potential pay disparities in individual salary increases for employees performing the same role and possessing equivalent levels of skills and professional experience.
