Diversity & gender balance
At SNCF, our workforce1 includes men and women with a wide range of professional and academic backgrounds. We offer programmes that enable everyone—young people, seniors, workers from different cultures, people with disabilities and more—to make the most of their talents and personality.

Promoting gender balance and equality in the workplace
At SNCF, gender balance and equality are fundamental to our business—which is why we’re taking practical steps to support these ideals and make them a reality.
Recruiting seniors and keeping them on the job
With their experience, job skills and knowledge of business life, seniors contribute genuine value to SNCF.
Supporting employees with disabilities
Too often, a disability can be an obstacle to employment and career development. At SNCF, we’re working to change that.
Preventing and fighting discrimination
Since we signed the Diversity Charter in 2004, SNCF has taken a firm stand against discrimination in all its forms.
Verbatim
“At SNCF, we believe that each individual is an asset in their own right.”
Guillaume Pepy, Chairman of SNCF’s Executive Board and Chairman and CEO of SNCF Mobilités
