International Women’s Day, celebrated every March 8th, represents a valuable opportunity for CIS Group to highlight not only the essential contributions of our female collaborators but also the strong values that guide us daily: inclusion, diversity, and solidarity.

In 2026, this day was not only a moment of celebration but also an opportunity to strengthen our commitment to the women within our group and in the local communities where we operate. Through diverse and culturally adapted initiatives, we honored the women who contribute every day to the success of our projects while reaffirming our dedication to promoting equal opportunities throughout the year.

A unique celebration for March 8th

With 6,154 women representing 37.5% of our global workforce of 16,600 employees across 17 countries, CIS Group aimed to make this day a special occasion for all its female collaborators.

In our various locations, teams came together to organize meaningful initiatives that respected local cultural specificities. These actions helped to value our female collaborators while strengthening human connections within our teams.

Gestures of recognition and sharing

Because recognition often lies in small gestures, our teams took the time to organize moments of gratitude through flowers, personalized gifts, and festive meals. These simple yet meaningful acts created moments of conviviality, where women were honored for their essential role in the daily operations of our projects.

Initiatives for autonomy and self-confidence

As part of our commitment to women’s empowerment, practical workshops were organized, such as self-defense classes. These sessions allowed our female collaborators to build confidence and develop skills useful in both their personal and professional lives. These actions illustrate our determination to support women in all aspects of their growth.

A solidarity-focused partnership at the heart of our values

We were pleased to renew our collaboration with L’Auberge Marseillaise, a solidarity-focused association offering a safe space and reintegration opportunities for women facing hardship. CIS funded a complete meal (starter, main course, and dessert) prepared by the women at the center, with all proceeds donated to the association. This project, meaningful and socially impactful, reflects our commitment to supporting women not only within the company but also in local communities.

Recognition of traditions and local cultures

In some countries, our teams also incorporated cultural elements into their celebrations. Traditional gifts, such as local fabrics, were presented to mark this special day, respecting local traditions and valuing the cultural identities unique to each region.

These initiatives, although organized for International Women’s Day, reflect a broader and ongoing commitment to our female collaborators and women in general.

CIS Group: a mission that goes beyond March 8th

While International Women’s Day is an important occasion for CIS, our commitment to inclusion and gender equality does not stop there. Throughout the year, we implement actions to promote education, training, and solidarity within our teams and the communities where we operate.

Supporting education for a brighter future

Our local educational programs, organized in the regions where we are present, aim to provide children in local communities with opportunities for learning and development. By investing in education, we contribute to reducing inequalities from an early age and building a future where everyone has access to fair opportunities.

Promoting professional and personal development

At CIS, we believe in the potential of every collaborator. That’s why we invest in continuous professional training to enable our teams to develop their skills, progress in their careers, and thrive fully. By supporting the development of our female collaborators, we strengthen their autonomy and their ability to tackle the challenges of tomorrow.

Strengthening connections with local communities

Our solidarity projects extend far beyond our business activities. Through donations, educational projects, and community initiatives, we strive to make a positive impact on the regions where we operate. These actions reflect our willingness to build lasting and responsible relationships with local communities.

An inclusive and supportive future

In 2026, CIS Group once again demonstrated that diversity and inclusion are central to its values. Through varied and adapted initiatives, we celebrated women with respect and gratitude while reaffirming our commitment to them throughout the year.

With 6,154 female collaborators, a 3.5-point increase since 2024 in the representation of women within the group, and concrete actions carried out in 17 countries, CIS continues to build an inclusive environment where everyone can thrive fully.

At CIS, every day is an opportunity to celebrate diversity and promote equality. Because together, we are stronger.
