Equality at Prayon is reflected in the following commitment from our Code of Ethics: "We must respect each person as an individual and treat them with dignity. We must consider differences in individuality in a spirit of integration that welcomes all people and strives to give them the chance to express their potential".

Prayon is also committed to providing a workplace free of all forms of harassment. Prayon strongly disapproves of – and does not tolerate – harassment of staff members, suppliers, or customers by colleagues.

This commitment consists of ensuring that we do not discriminate in any way, particularly on the basis of (non-exhaustive list serving as an indication only): gender, disability, family situation, sexual preference, age, political and philosophical opinion, religious belief, union activity, racial, social, cultural, or national origin, food preference, or any other.

  • Pay equity goal (salary/scale linked to position and seniority) and bonus independent of maternity leave;
