We are pleased to announce that our 2025 gender pay gap data reflects our continued commitment to equity, with encouraging signs of progress across several key indicators.
This year, we are encouraged to report that our mean gender pay gap continues to improve year on year — moving from 4.5% in 2024 to 3.9% in 2025 — while our median gender pay gap has improved from 4.3% to 2.5%. And, female representation in our Senior Leadership Group has also increased by 3.5%.
These positive changes are an indication that our initiatives for equity are working, as we continue to strive toward greater gender balance within Gas Networks Ireland.
However, while progress is evident, we are also acutely aware that representation is also influenced by external macroeconomic factors, including industry-wide talent shortages in STEM careers, gender imbalances in the utilities sector, and broader societal trends. These factors can limit the pace of change, especially in traditionally male-dominated roles or functions.
Despite these challenges, however, we are actively working to move the dial. Through the introduction of a range of targeted initiatives, changes to our processes, and through the introduction of progressive policies, we are seeing positive momentum. We understand that sustainable change takes time, but we remain fully committed to doing what’s right — creating a workplace where everyone has equal opportunity to thrive and progress.
Finally, as we look forward to the coming year, we are confident that our sustained efforts will lead to continued progress and will in turn help to further close the gender pay gap within Gas Networks Ireland.
