At Deloitte Société d’Avocats, we understand that our diversity is a strength and a key driver for effectiveness in the market. That’s why we strive to make diversity and gender balance the norm in all parts of our organization.
We are committed to fostering a diverse and inclusive workforce where everyone feels a sense of belonging, is empowered to feel themselves without fear of bias or discrimination and is motivated and given opportunities to thrive at work. This can be achieved by providing a workplace culture that is built on a foundation of respect and appreciation for diversity in all its forms.
We’ve set ambitious aspirational goals and have developed consistent interventions spanning the entire career lifecycle. We also know that leadership needs to be accountable for delivering the change needed – gender diversity is high on the radar of our leadership team and is a regular agenda item. Building on some of the leading practices established in parts of our organization, we remain consistently focused on developing guidance and giving practical advice on interventions that we know are most effective in promoting gender equality.
Deloitte Société d’Avocats was awarded by the United Nations for its exemplary action in favor of gender equality. In 2013, our firm received the “business case of action” award at the Women’s Empowerment Principles Event. Organized by the United Nations Global Compact and UN Women, this event was an opportunity to reward 5 companies around the world for their exemplary approach to gender equality and their actions in favor of diversity at all levels of the company. A fair working environment is still in place today: the firm, headed by Sophie Blégent-Delapille since 2016 and whose mandate has been renewed in 2020, counts more than 55% of women among its teams and 75% of Deloitte Société d’Avocats Executive Committee are female.
As part of our participation in the national gender equality index, Deloitte Société d’Avocats has published an overall score of 86/100 for 2021.
In our fight against discrimination, the Women in Leadership (WiL) program has been created by Deloitte France to set-up a development program for managers and has been extended to all women within the firm, to empower them and promote their well-being at work.
Deloitte Société d’Avocats is also involved in Deloitte’s ALL IN diversity and inclusion strategy. An initiative that is focused not only on ensuring that all Deloitte people live the organization’s values and understand the importance of an inclusive culture, but also on designing and implementing specific interventions in order to achieve our diversity goals.
A third major initiative was the appointment of Lucille Chabanel, a partner at Deloitte Société d’Avocats, by our CEO, Gianmarco Monsellato, as Gender Leader.
Providing an inclusive culture for all Deloitte Société d’Avocats people is a long-term commitment. Our firm is dedicated to supporting and empowering all of its practitioners and professionals to achieve their full potential, and
to delivering our purpose to make an impact that matters, each and every day. And while we are proud of the diversity and inclusion culture we have implemented, we understand that, as the world change, we must continue to seek for more.

Corporate governance in Mexico: overview and trends 2021
Adapting Mexican corporate governance policy related to new market realities would need corporate law reform with the backing of enforcement. Nevertheless, certain local instruments – which lack binding force and which may, at best, fit in the category of ‘soft law’ – attempt to direct corporate practices through a voluntary approach.
