Women in the Plastics Industry

Last June, an assessment was carried out on an initiative led by companies in the plastics industry in Haute-Loire, with the aim of promoting the attractiveness of careers in plastics manufacturing for women, in partnership with the DDETSPP (Departmental Directorate for Employment, Labor, Social Affairs, and Professional Training).

This initiative was launched following a survey of plastics companies affected by the obligation to publish their professional equality index and facing recruitment difficulties.

Plastics manufacturing is one of the sectors identified in the plan to combat recruitment pressures.
The Human Resources Consulting Service was mobilized, financed by the State, and supported by OPCO2i AURA in partnership with the Polyvia branch.

ADDIPLAST GROUP and four other companies participated in this project. We benefited from a combination of group sessions and individual workshops led by the firm QANTIS.co. 

The working group’s objectives are to improve the attractiveness and diversity of the plastics industry, in particular by identifying obstacles and dismantling preconceived notions about our professions.

Ambassadors for the plastics industry were identified in each company and shared their experiences in a video presenting 10 profiles of different women and professions, highlighting diversity in plastics companies in the Haute-Loire region.

We would like to thank Leslie CHEVALIER, laboratory technician, who volunteered to participate in the video and act as an ambassador for our group.
