Enhance Workplace Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion with EDGE Certification

EDGE and EDGEplus Certifications employ a robust approach to evaluate your organisation’s standing in terms of workplace gender and intersectional equity. As an effective instrument for sustainable progress based on objective, measurable evidence, it provides clear standards of performance, creating transparency and accountability for change.

  • EDGE (gender-binary): considers men and women as two homogeneous groups. It allows organisations to analyse data and information related to women and men.
  • EDGEplus (gender and intersectionality): is an add-on to EDGE (gender-binary) that enables certifying organisations to deepen their understanding of gender-related matters by measuring and analysing the intersectionality of gender and other aspects of diversity.

Once you attain EDGE Certification, you can communicate the benefits and demonstrate the advancements in diversity, equity and inclusion within your organisation. This enables you to showcase your progress to key stakeholders such as leadership teams, current and prospective employees, business partners, ESG investors and customers.

Invaluable expertise and guidance

FLOCERT’s expertise and guidance were invaluable in our journey to EDGE certification. Their deep understanding of our business context, along with their judicious and objective input, played a vital role in ELECTRABEL achieving the EDGE Assess certification for workplace gender equity.
