Objet de l’information
This disclosure requires the organization to compare the basic salary and remuneration of women and men within comparable employee categories at each significant location of operation.
For every employee category at every significant location, report:
the ratio of women’s basic salary to men’s basic salary; and
the ratio of women’s remuneration to men’s remuneration.
GRI recommends basing remuneration on the average pay of each gender grouping within the employee category.
The organization must also disclose the definition used to identify significant locations of operation.
The ratios should not be replaced by an overall company average, a gender pay gap, a median-only calculation or a separate location ratio and employee-category ratio that are not cross-tabulated.
Disclosure 405-2 does not require an explanation of diversity policies, a conclusion that pay is equal, a year-on-year variance analysis or ratios for every operating location. Management of diversity and equal opportunity is addressed separately through Disclosure 3-3 where the topic is material.

Illustrative treatment — no comparator
The senior-management category at the Dublin location contained women only during the reporting period. A women-to-men ratio could therefore not be calculated.
