FDJ’s efforts in fostering acceptance and understanding should highlight the company’s adherence to modern values and bolster its popularity through positive exposure. Guaranteeing a safe and inclusive workplace is vital in safeguarding employee well-being and should positively impact the company’s workflow.

The operator’s commitment to LGBT+ rights reflects its people-orientated stance. FDJ is a prime supporter of safe gambling, regularly investing in promotional campaigns to mitigate the negative social impact associated with the industry. The company hopes its efforts to support worthy causes will positively affect French society, helping suppress problems and underage gambling.

Inclusive Policies and Practices Remain Vital

FDJ recognizes that embracing diversity contributes to a more vibrant and dynamic work environment, enhancing creativity, innovation, and overall business success. To that end, the operator will ensure employees have access to a platform for open dialogue, education, and support, creating an environment where everyone can feel safe and empowered to be their authentic selves.

L’Autre Cercle employers’ division co-head Catherine Tripon lauded FDJ’s continued efforts and support, expressing hope that other high-profile businesses signing the organization’s charter would bring all parties involved long-term benefits. Tripon noted that employee well-being remained at the initiative’s core, hoping the movement would bring meaningful change.

The world of work must be a safe environment. It is essential that employees feel good there in order to avoid the risk of unequal treatment.
