The EQUAL-SALARY certification process has been developed in collaboration with the University of Geneva and its audits are now entrusted to recognized partners such as PwC (PricewaterhouseCoopers).

Véronique has been working on the topic of equal pay for a long time and calls on other women to be active: „Let’s join forces to make equal pay a reality everywhere to make women feel fully recognized for their contribution to the world.“
