According to the barometer conducted by the association L’Autre Cercle (with the pollster Ifop), 96% of surveyed employees consider GE Healthcare (2,700 employees in France) to be “LGBT friendly”. The pharmaceutical company reports a higher rate than the average for other companies (92%), reflected in a lower frequency of homophobic insults (30% heard compared to 43%), unequal treatment of the individuals concerned (5% compared to 12%), and employees hiding their private life at work (59% compared to 63%).
Signing of the L’Autre Cercle charter
Like 200 organisations before it, GE Healthcare signed the L’Autre Cercle charter during Pride Month on 30 June 2026, following the completion of the barometer. The validity of the signature is reviewed by the association after a three-year period based on whether the company has fulfilled its initial commitments.
