Distinction between affected stakeholders and users of sustainability information
Stakeholders are regularly consulted, in particular during double materiality analyses, in order to assess TP's impacts in terms of sustainability matters. TP's permanent internal and external stakeholder consultation channels ensure that potential risks and impacts arising from the Group's activities are monitored.
Affected stakeholders include TP employees, staff representatives, workers in the value chain, end-users, and local communities.
Users of sustainability information include investors and rating agencies.
Integration into decision-making and double materiality assessment
As part of the preparatory work for the CSRD, TP conducted a double materiality assessment in 2023, assessing all the impacts, risks, and opportunities (IROs) related to sustainability matters in terms of impact materiality and financial materiality. In 2024, the Group refined its assessment on the basis of the final version of the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS) to include all double materiality requirements and incorporate Majorel into its assessment.
The Group clearly identified the scope of ESG issues to be taken into account, incorporating stakeholder feedback in order to enrich strategic thinking and better align the Group's actions with their expectations.
IROs were analyzed and submitted to a panel of internal and external stakeholders, through interviews, in the third quarter of 2023 to enrich the analysis and assess their degree of impact and financial materiality. The panel comprised a representative sample of key TP stakeholders, including staff representatives and clients covering all major geographical regions.
In 2024, the double materiality assessment was fine-tuned by the CSRD steering committee and human resources managers, including Majorel managers. The interviews conducted in 2022 with 40 external stakeholders were also taken into account for the analysis.
Stakeholder consultation under duty of vigilance
Under the duty of vigilance law, measures taken in 2023/2024 included:
- Update of the non-financial risk mapping and materiality matrix, through consultation with key stakeholders, both globally and in key countries
- Continuous strengthening of channels for listening and dialog with employees, strengthening of social dialog in several key subsidiaries and at global level
- Organization of a consultation with stakeholders, including UNI Global, on the duty of vigilance
In December 2023, TP organized a stakeholder consultation on the duty of vigilance, including with regard to human rights.
Global agreement with UNI Global Union
In December 2022, TP and UNI Global Union ("UNI") signed a global agreement to strengthen their shared commitments in terms of employee rights to form trade unions and participate in collective bargaining. This agreement also reflects a determination to improve the working environment, covering 100% of the Group's employees.
Employee engagement mechanisms
A number of centralized employee listening tools have been introduced in recent years to ensure more frequent monitoring of employee satisfaction, including:
- Talent retention surveys designed to verify employee satisfaction after each stage of their career (hiring, induction, training, change of position, annual review, etc.) called "Moments of Truth"
- External surveys through employee reviews on Glassdoor or Indeed
- An HR support service enabling employees to contact the Human Resources Department to resolve their concerns on topics such as scheduling, remuneration, employee benefits, training and career development
- Sentiment Surveys giving employees an opportunity to express their emotions each day by selecting one of five emoticons displayed on the MyTP online platform, on a scale from "very happy" to "very unhappy"
TP has set itself the target of achieving a trust index of over 70% in the annual Great Place to Work® survey, which is incorporated into remuneration and financing criteria.
Whistleblowing mechanism
The Global Ethics Hotline (whistleblowing mechanism) is accessible to internal and external stakeholders, to report on any infringement of human rights or fundamental freedoms, harm to the health and safety of persons or the environment, breach of ethics, corruption or fraud.
Remuneration and financing linked to stakeholder concerns
For 2024, 30% of the annual variable remuneration awarded to corporate officers is contingent on the achievement of the Group's strategic non-financial objectives. Moreover, 20% of long-term remuneration is contingent on the achievement of the Group's sustainability objectives.
On January 31, 2023, the Group signed an agreement with a consortium of 15 banks to set up a €500 million revolving credit facility. This facilities agreement incorporates CSR criteria into the financing terms. The lending rate is contingent on the Group's CSR performance, among other criteria.

Material impacts, risks and opportunities and their interaction with strategy and business model
Overview
Teleperformance conducted a double materiality assessment in 2023 as part of preparations for the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD). The Group assessed all sustainability issues in terms of impact materiality and financial materiality, assessing the impacts, risks and opportunities related to each issue, focusing on human rights, health and safety, ethics and compliance, corporate governance, the environment, the value chain and communities.
The double materiality assessment considers that an issue is material if it has a strong impact on stakeholders and the planet and/or the Company's economic performance. All issues with an impact and/or financial materiality greater than 2.5 (major or severe impact) are considered material. The threshold of 2.5, representing the mid-point of the scale, reflects a rigorous assessment methodology to distinguish matters of significant importance to TP and to focus the analysis on issues with a substantial impact in terms of both impact materiality and financial materiality.

Interaction with strategy and business model
TP's strategy is integrated into three strong commitments structuring its CSR strategy:
- Be a Force of Good: Commitment to the planet
- Be the Market's Preferred Employer: Commitment to people
- Be a Trusted Partner: Commitment to integrity
The objectives defined by TP cover all geographical regions and product/service segments, taking stakeholder relations into account. These objectives are applied consistently across the board, without distinction between different regions, client categories or product groups, ensuring a consistent and integrated approach.
TP's value-creating business model is based on integrated and sustainable growth by establishing these three strong commitments. Key resources that support this model include advanced technologies, skilled human talent and strategic partnerships, each playing a crucial role in the organization's effectiveness and sustainability.

Description of the process to identify and assess material impacts, risks and opportunities
Governance
TP applies rigorous governance standards in its CSR reporting processes, ensuring transparency, accountability and strategic alignment with the global Sustainable Development Goals. Double materiality falls under the remit of the CSR Department, which oversees the integration of sustainable development principles into all aspects of the Group's business. This involves working with in-house experts from different departments and regional teams, as well as engaging staff representatives. The double materiality assessment is approved by the CSR Committee, the Audit, Risk and Compliance Committee and senior management, who ensure compliance with regulatory requirements and the continuous improvement of the Group's performance in terms of sustainable development.
Framework and scope
As part of the preparatory work for the CSRD, TP conducted a double materiality assessment in 2023, assessing all the impacts, risks, and opportunities (IROs) related to sustainability matters in terms of impact materiality and financial materiality. In 2024, the Group refined its assessment on the basis of the final version of the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS) to include all double materiality requirements and incorporate Majorel into its assessment.
To determine TP's material issues, the Group applied the double materiality approach introduced under the CSRD's European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS), which focuses on the three pillars of sustainability: Environment, Social, Governance (ESG).
Inputs to the assessment
Internal sources
The Group relied on documents developed internally:
- Materiality analyses covering all issues carried out in previous years following consultation with TP's main stakeholders
- Global analysis of Group risks (ERM)
- Thematic risk mapping developed particularly in accordance with the duty of vigilance: corruption, human rights, environment, health and safety, suppliers
- Employee, client and end-user satisfaction surveys covering all labor issues including health and safety, working conditions, diversity and inclusion
External sources and tools
- International standards (ISO 26000, United Nations Global Compact, Sustainable Development Goals and their targets, GRI standards)
- ESRS (European Sustainability Reporting Standards)
- Industry benchmarks and guidelines
- Media watch
- International indexes to assess the level of country-specific gross risk affecting its operations and value chain and thereby identify areas of vigilance (Global Climate Risk Index, Human Rights Index Score, Corruption Perceptions Index)
Internal experts
Once the scope of ESG issues to be assessed was determined, the Steering Committee, comprising the CSR Department and in-house experts from the various departments and regional teams, translated each of these issues into impacts, risks and opportunities (IRO). The following departments were involved in this process:
- Legal
- Compliance
- Finance
- Audit and internal control
- Human resources, including those responsible for training, diversity and inclusion
- Ethics, including those responsible for the Global Ethics Hotline
- Health and safety
- Procurement
Stakeholder consultation
IROs were then analyzed and submitted to a panel of internal and external stakeholders, through interviews, in the third quarter of 2023 to enrich the analysis and assess their degree of impact and financial materiality. The panel comprised a representative sample of key TP stakeholders, including staff representatives and clients covering all major geographical regions.
In 2024, the double materiality assessment was fine-tuned by the CSRD steering committee and human resources managers, including Majorel managers. The interviews conducted in 2022 with 40 external stakeholders were also taken into account for the analysis. The topics were specifically targeted to the relevant stakeholder groups in order to gather additional insights from those possessing the most relevant knowledge.
Value chain mapping
TP identified and assessed the impacts on people and the environment, as well as the potential risks and opportunities related to its activities. The value chain was also taken into account, both upstream and downstream, with a particular focus on working conditions and data security depending on the business sector. The value chain is described in section 3.1.1.
As part of its work, the Group paid particular attention to:
- the carbon footprint
- dependencies and pressures exerted on nature
- business relationships with the various stakeholders
- the types of pollution generated by the activity (water, air, soil, noise, etc.)
- the geographical areas where the sites are located, in particular the locations of the assets and activities as well as their exposure to the risks of climate adaptation and transition, and biodiversity, to water and marine resource management risks; to political and regulatory issues
Time horizons
Impacts, risks and opportunities (IRO) were also analyzed over different time horizons, in accordance with ESRS recommendations:
- Short term (one year)
- Medium term (two to five years)
- Long term (> 5 years)
Assessment methodology
Impact materiality scoring
Impact materiality has been defined as a combination of:
Impact severity, whether positive or negative, as defined in terms of its scale and extent when it is real, while the potential impact includes these two factors plus the probability of occurrence. This assessment is determined according to three characteristics:
- Scale of the impact (degree of gravity) on the environment and on people, by assessing the degree of gravity/benefit of the impact. Severity was rated on a scale of five levels, depending on the level of impact on the environment or people, ranging from 1 "negligible" to 5 "severe"
- Extent of the impact, taking into account, for example, the percentage of people who could be affected or the number of facilities or regions affected
- Irremediable character, by assessing the extent to which the negative impact can be repaired and the capacity for supporting those affected
Impact likelihood: Likelihood was also rated on a scale of five ranging from "rare", with a probability of occurrence ranging from 5% to 35%, to "almost certain", with a probability of over 90%.
Severity was determined by multiplying the scale of the impact by the extent and the irremediable character. This result was then multiplied by the impact likelihood, then divided by five in order to assess the impact materiality of each issue.
Impact severity x Impact likelihood = Impact materiality
Financial materiality scoring
Financial materiality assesses the risks and opportunities generated by external events and environmental, social and governance factors, with regard to the company's ability to continue generating value in the short, medium and long term.
Financial materiality may arise from operational, strategic, regulatory, reputational, human, environmental or health dependencies and impacts. Dependencies are described in the value chain description in section 3.1.1.
The rating scales were chosen to align with the rating scale used in the global Group risk analysis (ERM - Enterprise Risk Management). Risks and opportunities were treated in the same way as other Group risks, according to the same amounts and the same risk assessment scales.
The risks and opportunities identified were then fed back into the Group's risk management system. The opportunities identified through the double materiality assessment are brought to the attention of senior management and integrated into Group strategy via a structured process.
Severity x Probability of occurrence = Financial materiality
Threshold for materiality
Topics were first sorted in order of priority. Then, the financial materiality threshold was defined according to the financial threshold, in line with the ERM. Finally, the impact threshold was defined so as to mirror the financial threshold in order to maintain consistency. These approval thresholds were established through a collaborative process involving in-house experts. The project team consulted various experts for consolidation and decision-making purposes. The final version was approved by senior management, the Audit, Risk and Compliance Committee and the CSR Committee.
The double materiality assessment considers that an issue is material if it has a strong impact on stakeholders and the planet and/or the Company's economic performance. Therefore, all issues with an impact and/or financial materiality greater than 2.5 (major or severe impact) are considered material (shaded area on the matrix). The threshold of 2.5, representing the mid-point of the scale, reflects a rigorous assessment methodology to distinguish matters of significant importance to TP and to focus the analysis on issues with a substantial impact in terms of both impact materiality and financial materiality.
Normalization to 5-point scale
A structured method was used to transition from material IROs to the material issues illustrated in the double materiality matrix. In each issue category, multiple IROs were identified and assessed individually. Each IRO was rated on the basis of pre-established criteria presented in the calculation methodology. Within the same issue, the IRO with the highest score was selected. This score was then attributed to the issue concerned, in terms of both impact materiality and financial materiality.
The double materiality matrix shows the impact materiality (Y axis) and financial materiality (X axis) for each of the issues, on a scale of 0 to 5. In assessing the IROs, a calculation was carried out to adjust all scores to a scale of 5, for both impact materiality and financial materiality. Each IRO was assessed according to precise criteria as mentioned above, and these scores were standardized in order to ensure consistent comparison. The method used to establish the score out of 5 is to divide the initial score of each IRO by 5.
Frequency of review
TP conducted a double materiality assessment in 2023 as part of the preparations for the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD). In 2024, the Group refined its assessment on the basis of the final version of the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS) to include all double materiality requirements and incorporate Majorel into its assessment.
The Group remains attentive to the changing expectations of its stakeholders. If new factors or changes relating to the business model render these matters material, a reassessment may be considered in order to incorporate them into future statements.

Methodology notes
- Baseline restatement: The 2019 baseline and all subsequent years have been restated to include Majorel (acquired November 2023) and to align with calendar-year reporting (January–December). The restatement was reviewed and approved by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi).
- Scope 3 uncertainty: Main uncertainties stem from data variability and quality (especially third-party data), emission factor variation, and the use of spend-based methodologies. The Group uses DEFRA emission factors and Exiobase sector-based factors. In 2024, Exiobase provided an updated database, which was applied to reprocess 2023 data and calculate 2024 data.
- Commuting estimation: Based on primary data from the annual Great Place to Work® survey (59% participation rate), which included questions on means of transport and distance between home and work. In 2024, more granular data was collected (distinction between thermal, hybrid, and electric cars).
- Business travel: Air travel distance totaled 88,605,374 km in 2024 (vs. 95,262,547 km in 2023). Other business travel emissions estimated using Exiobase spend-based factors.
- Purchased goods & services and capital goods: Emissions estimated using spend-based method with Exiobase sector emission factors. Expenses for computer hardware, machinery, equipment, office furniture, and long-term vehicle lease classified under capital goods per GHG Protocol.
- Exclusions: Scope 3 categories 8–15 not applicable. Categories 3, 4, and 5 calculated but not included in SBTi targets (representing <3% of Scope 3 emissions).
- Scope: No joint ventures, associates, or other contractual arrangements involving joint operations. All subsidiaries and entities controlled by TP worldwide are included.

Anticipated financial effects from material physical and transition risks and potential climate-related opportunities
Physical Risks
| Physical risks | Impact | Mitigation strategy | Horizon | Criticality |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Acute risks: The potential financial impact of extreme climate events has increased the cost of facility operation due to rehabilitation costs after a climate event and business disruptions. | The Group's business may be affected or interrupted in regions more prone to extreme weather events. | ● TP has identified a number of geographical regions that are more prone to extreme climate conditions, such as the Philippines and India (see above). These subsidiaries all have solid business continuity plans in place.<br>● The impact of these events is mitigated by the Group's geographic diversification, which allows emergency solutions to be implemented at other facilities or in other countries whenever possible.<br>● Contractual business continuity plans are also signed with clients for this purpose. These plans include the rollout of emergency solutions and alternative means of production. | Short/medium-term | ●● |
| Chronic risks: Increase in global temperature. | Changing global temperatures have increased the demand for greater cooling and heating requirements for facilities, as well as electricity costs. The energy crisis and increased costs exacerbate these potential effects. | ● TP applies energy efficiency and energy supply criteria upon the acquisition of any new building.<br>● TP's Global Premises Standard complies with LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) standards, incorporating environmental criteria and favoring green buildings wherever possible.<br>● The Group also makes efforts to acquire STAR- and EPEAT-certified electrical and computer equipment for its activities, in accordance with the requirements of TP's global environmental policy, which contributes to reducing costs related to the heating and cooling needs of buildings. | Medium/long-term | ●● |
Criticality is determined on the basis of risk materiality and probability of occurrence. It is presented on a three-level scale: high (● ● ●), intermediate (● ●) and moderate (●).
Transition Risks
The Group has assessed the transition risks, particularly for its main geographical locations, and appropriate adaptation and mitigation plans have been identified. The criticality of each of the risks was assessed with help from CSR ambassadors and environmental experts from TP's main subsidiaries, based on interviews on the magnitude of the impact and probability. These risks are in line with the Group's SBTi targets and take into account the IPCC SSP2-4.5 scenario.
| Transition risks | Impact | Mitigation strategy | Horizon | Criticality |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Existing regulations | Failure to comply with local environmental laws and international environmental standards constitutes a risk for any organization. Climate change regulations exist in many regions and are an important part of the identification process for climate‑related risks. Regulations relating to the energy efficiency of buildings, energy control and GHG emission reduction already exist in India, the United Kingdom and the EU. | ● TP complies with applicable environmental laws and regulations in all countries in which it operates, and actively monitors operations to ensure compliance with all existing standards.<br>● TP's risk management and internal control system ensures the preparation of reliable information that meets statutory and regulatory requirements.<br>● The Group's environmental policy and environmental performance management system are based on the principles of the ISO 14001 standard. | Short/medium-term | ●● |
| Emerging regulations | New regulations on carbon taxes (taxes on coal or fossil fuels, which result in higher electricity prices), carbon taxes on air travel in the EU and mandatory energy audits in India, the UK and the EU are examples of emerging regulations that impact the Group. | ● These risks are taken into account when developing the Company's sustainability strategy and roadmap in order to prepare for the future. TP has also taken a proactive step by publishing an Integrated Report covering both financial and non-financial performance.<br>● TP takes these risks into account and regularly reviews its directives, strategies and best practices to ensure compliance with local regulations and Group expectations. | Medium/long-term | ●● |
| Technological risks | Increased costs and turnaround times for IT equipment and HVAC systems due to rising global temperatures; increased maintenance, repair and replacement costs for existing systems. | ● Technological risks are significant for TP's operations, primarily in India, the Philippines, Mexico, the United States, Brazil and Colombia, where over 50% of the Group's operations are located. The effects could be exacerbated by the rapid development of AI.<br>● Environmental criteria are integrated into the sourcing and procurement of IT and electronic equipment, for example by prioritizing more efficient systems and computers (STAR and EPEAT) and a more efficient data storage strategy through migration to the cloud.<br>● With the arrival of more energy-efficient buildings on the market, maintaining the ecological efficiency of the Group's facilities is a process of continuous improvement in which TP evaluates the new options available and anticipates the gradual renewal of its equipment. | Short/medium-term | ●●● |
| Market risks | The risks and opportunities associated with climate change are driving a series of changes for clients. | ● Investments in innovation, research and development of service offerings are being accelerated to meet changing market demand.<br>● Opportunity to support clients' endeavors to mitigate climate change by supplying more efficient and agile solutions allowing process automation. | Medium/long-term | ●● |
Criticality is determined on the basis of risk materiality and probability of occurrence. It is presented on a three-level scale: high (● ● ●), intermediate (● ●) and moderate (●).
CapEx and OpEx Implications
As part of its strategy to decarbonize and mitigate climate risks, TP has allocated financial resources to a number of strategic initiatives aimed at reducing the Company's environmental footprint.
Capital expenditure (CapEx) has been earmarked for building renovation focused on improving energy efficiency. CapEx covers the installation of automated energy systems and the renewal of equipment such as air conditioning and lighting systems at a number of subsidiaries.
Operating expenses (OpEx) have been allocated to integrating renewable energy into TP's infrastructures, thereby reducing dependence on fossil fuels and promoting a transition towards more sustainable solutions.
The investments aligned with the criteria laid down by the European taxonomy for sustainable activities are explained in section 3.3.3.
Time Horizons
- Short/medium-term: Acute physical risks (extreme climate events), existing regulations, technological risks
- Medium/long-term: Chronic physical risks (temperature increase), emerging regulations, market risks

Collective bargaining coverage and social dialogue
Collective agreements
In December 2022, TP and UNI Global Union ("UNI") signed a global agreement to strengthen their shared commitments in terms of employee rights to form trade unions and participate in collective bargaining. This agreement also reflects a determination to improve the working environment, particularly in terms of health and safety. The agreement covers 100% of the Group's employees. Pursuant to the agreement, UNI, its member trade unions and TP management first implemented the agreement in Colombia, Poland, Jamaica, El Salvador and Romania. The agreement is based on the recognition of fundamental labor rights as established by the International Labor Organization (ILO) and on compliance with the OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises. TP also recognizes UNI as a stakeholder under the French duty of vigilance law.
Certain Group subsidiaries have a specific collective bargaining agreement. If no such agreement exists, the labor laws in the country in question apply. Collective agreements are also regularly entered into each year with staff representatives. These agreements generally provide for the number of working hours, the notice period in the event of departure, salary increases, vacation time, the length of parental leave, payment of public holidays, team rotas, etc.
In addition to the global agreement with UNI covering all Group employees, local unions are recognized in 24 countries, covering 39% of the Group's employees. TP also maintains an open dialog with trade unions in most of the countries where it operates.

The corporate culture encourages direct access to Group managers and executives. TP has implemented a number of initiatives at its subsidiaries to encourage dialog and discussion with employees. Examples of initiatives include:
- Meetings with management: Organization of regular meetings between management and staff representatives and, where they exist, trade unions
- Chats with the CEO: Offer employees the opportunity to talk about current operations at the facility and share their views, without the involvement of their direct supervisor, and in a friendly atmosphere
- Focus groups: Focus groups between agents and managers
- Intranet and online communication tools: Deployment of an online communication tool enabling employees to anonymously share their concerns with HR and management
Employees can also share their opinions and express their concerns through employee satisfaction surveys, regular chats with the CEO and discussion groups. The Sentiment Surveys help gage employees' feelings on a daily basis and provide appropriate responses. Moreover, the universal Global Ethics Hotline is available to any employee or third party, in all countries where the Group operates, who wishes to report violations, including violations of principles related to freedom of association.
Directors representing employees
Two directors representing the employees were appointed to the Board of Directors. The Social and Economic Committee of Teleperformance SE appointed Ms. Véronique de Jocas as director representing the employees on September 9, 2020. The European Company Works Council (ECWC) appointed Mr. Evangelos Papadopoulos on November 2, 2020. In 2023, their terms of office were renewed according to the same modalities. One of the two employee representative directors also joined the Board CSR Committee in 2023, bringing the benefit of his operational expertise (particularly in content moderation), membership of the European Works Council and role as Group Global Social Auditor.

Gender pay gap
In 2024, the average gender pay gap at Teleperformance was between 3% and 4% in favor of men, well below the 12% average recorded in the European Union. This figure is calculated on the basis of salaries paid directly to employees, excluding variable remuneration and before taxes and social security contributions. The study was conducted in October 2024 based on wages paid between January 1 and December 31, 2023.
Methodology notes
Data relating to the breakdown of the workforce is compiled at the end of each year to provide an accurate and updated view of the regulatory reporting. The figures are aligned with the information in the financial statements, thereby facilitating data consistency and traceability.
Data concerning employees with disabilities is reported via the consolidated staff data reporting system, based on information collected in the subsidiaries' HR management tools, in compliance with privacy and data protection regulations. In some subsidiaries, such as the United States, the collection of this information is not permitted by local law. Employees are not required to declare this personal information to their employer and do so on a voluntary basis. The data thus collected is partial.
A gender breakdown of training hours is not available in the current reporting systems.
S1-9(was S1-10)Adequate wagesReported
Adequate wages
Benchmark Used
Teleperformance uses WageIndicator (Wage Indicator) as its living wage benchmark. The company has partnered with Wage Indicator since 2019 to conduct analyses benchmarking local TP salaries against the local living wage.
Wage Indicator is described as "a non-profit foundation based in Amsterdam that has developed a highly robust methodology and global database on living wages. It operates national Wage Indicator websites in more than 125 countries, functioning as online local labor market libraries for employees, employers, governments, academics and the media."
Methodology: Wage Indicator estimates the local living wage by gathering local prices for accommodation, food, clothing, water and electricity, transportation, telephony, public education and health through cost-of-living surveys. Data is updated on a quarterly basis. Wage Indicator sets the living wage as a range (low and high brackets), for:
- An individual living alone
- A standard family (two adults and two children)
- A typical family (two adults and a number of children per family in line with the country average)
Intervals reflect price variations within the same city, region or country.
Coverage
100% of employees are paid above the statutory minimum wage (adequate wage).
The company states: "All TP employees are paid above the statutory minimum wage (adequate wage)." and "Throughout its operations, TP pays remuneration in excess of the minimum wage established in each of the countries where the Group operates."
The document references "Percentage of employees paid above a living wage" as a key performance indicator monitored in the internal control system, though the specific percentage is not disclosed in the excerpts provided.
Geographic Scope
The living wage analysis is conducted globally across TP's operations. The company states: "This analysis allows TP to validate and improve its remuneration policy, and to ensure that the Group offers all of its employees a decent wage. It also allows it to track living wage and local cost of living trends so as to anticipate and close any gaps."
The analysis covers the Group's nearly 100 countries of operation.
Targets / Commitments
Value chain extension target: The company commits to "collaborating with the Group's main suppliers to extend access to living wages throughout the value chain by 2030."
The document states the aim is "collaborating with the Group's main suppliers to extend access to living wages throughout the value chain by 2030" under the living wage section.
Methodology Details
- Reassessment frequency: Data is updated quarterly by Wage Indicator
- Living wage definition: "Different from the minimum wage, the living wage is a higher standard corresponding to the minimum income necessary for workers to comfortably meet their basic needs. The goal of a living wage is to allow a worker to afford a decent standard of living through employment. The living wage varies from one city or country to another, depending on the local cost of living."
- Context: The analysis was initiated "Against a backdrop of high inflation in many countries" to ensure "employees continue to receive a living wage"
- The company explicitly distinguishes between minimum wage compliance and living wage commitment: "While meeting the minimum wage is an essential step in protecting employees' rights, this threshold does not always respond to local economic realities. In many countries, the minimum wage may be insufficient to cover basic needs and ensure a decent quality of life, especially where the cost of living is high and the prices of goods and services are rising."
Additional Context
The living wage analysis results are presented to the CSR Committee and Board of Directors as part of the governance oversight. The company is committed to "providing competitive remuneration to all its employees and to promoting higher standards for its sector" as a market leader.
S1-10(was S1-11)Social protectionReported
Social protection
Coverage by type of scheme
Teleperformance is committed to guaranteeing all of its employees comprehensive social protection against loss of income due to major events such as illness, unemployment, workplace accidents, parental leave and retirement. However, this coverage depends on the specific regulations of each country where the Group operates, as social protection laws and programs vary from one jurisdiction to another.
All Group employees have access to social protection and health insurance under public or private schemes or both:
- 62% of employees have both a public insurance scheme and a private supplementary insurance scheme provided by TP
- 20% have a public insurance scheme
- 18% (over 88,000 people) are covered by a TP insurance scheme in the absence of a local social security system
The supplementary insurance provided by TP is extended to the entire family group for more than 250,000 employees, thus having a positive impact outside the Company.
Employee benefits
All TP staff receive employee benefits. Employee benefits are organized locally in accordance with established practices in each country. The employee benefits are provided to all employees, whether full-time, part-time or temporary, unless otherwise specified.
Family leave eligibility and uptake
Family leave arrangements vary according to local regulations in each country of operation. TP employees benefit from various types of family leave, including maternity, paternity and parental leave.
| Indicator | Women | Men | Total |
|---|---|---|---|
| Percentage of employees authorized to take maternity/paternity leave | 100% | 94% | 97% |
| Percentage of employees who took maternity/paternity leave | 3% | 1% | 2% |
All TP employees are eligible for maternity leave, while 94% are eligible for paternity leave (except in some countries including Egypt, Jamaica and Nigeria).
Specific country examples
Philippines: TP provides inclusive health insurance extended to the employees' partners, irrespective of their marital status or sexual orientation.
Portugal: TP has rolled out the TP Feel Well program, which offers psychological and general clinic consultations, medical examinations and other initiatives focused on wellbeing. This program provides ongoing free professional medical assistance at the workplace.
Methodology note
The data is collected on local HR management systems and reported to the Group through an annual internal survey sent round all the subsidiaries. The completeness and reliability of the data thus reported may improve over time thanks to the standardized deployment of the Workday HR management platform across the Group.
At the end of 2022, the Group launched an audit of local supplementary health, death, accident, disability and incapacity cover, with the aim of defining a minimum welfare protection base applicable to all and harmonizing benefits. In 2023, the Group defined an action plan based on the findings of this inventory. The action plan will be implemented in 2025.
S1-11(was S1-12)Persons with disabilitiesReported
Persons with disabilities
Overall percentage
TP pursues a proactive disability inclusion strategy aligned with the principles of the CSRD and ESRS. The Group is committed to creating a working environment accessible to all, by reasonably adapting workstations to ensure that employees with reduced mobility can work under fair and inclusive conditions.
Data concerning employees with disabilities is reported via the consolidated staff data reporting system, based on the information collected in the subsidiaries' HR management tools, in compliance with privacy and data protection regulations. Indeed, in some subsidiaries, such as the United States, the collection of this information is not permitted by local law. Similarly, employees are not required to declare this personal information to their employer and do so on a voluntary basis. The data thus collected is partial, in view of the different regulations and the personal nature of the information.
In order to best estimate the percentage of persons with disabilities in the workforce and mitigate the risk of incomplete reporting, the Group also relies on the results of the confidential annual "Census" survey, to which employees respond on a voluntary basis. On this basis, the Group estimates that persons with disabilities accounted for between 2% and 4% of the workforce in 2024.
Country-specific data
France: 8.7% of the TP France workforce were officially recognized as disabled. In France, regulations set an employment target of 6%, which the Group has exceeded.
Methodology and scope limitations
- Data collection restrictions: In some subsidiaries, such as the United States, the collection of disability information is not permitted by local law
- Voluntary self-identification: Employees are not required to declare this personal information to their employer and do so on a voluntary basis
- Partial data: The data collected is partial, in view of the different regulations and the personal nature of the information
- Supplementary methodology: The Group relies on results from the confidential annual "Census" survey (voluntary employee participation) to supplement official HR system data
Recruitment and initiatives
More than 6,800 persons with disabilities were recruited in 2024.
The Group employs workers with disabilities and complies with applicable local legislation on hiring, non-discrimination and workstation layout. In some subsidiaries, no minimum threshold is required for hiring persons with disabilities. In the other subsidiaries, targets are set in accordance with local regulations on the inclusion of persons with disabilities.
Main local initiatives to promote hiring of persons with disabilities
| Country | Initiatives |
|---|---|
| Germany | An agreement on the inclusion, employment and promotion of persons with disabilities has been in force since 2019.

Compensation metrics
Pay gap
In 2024, the average gender pay gap at TP was between 3% and 4% in favor of men, well below the 12% average recorded in the European Union. This figure shows the average difference in pay levels between female and male employees, expressed as a percentage. It is calculated on the basis of salaries paid directly to employees, excluding variable remuneration and before taxes and social security contributions.
This study was conducted in October 2024 based on wages paid between January 1 and December 31, 2023.
TP France Gender Equality Index: In 2024, TP France scored 93/100 on the professional gender equality index, up from 84 in 2019 when the index was first published. Companies with a score above 75/100 are considered to be workplaces that promote gender equality.
The French gender equality index evaluates five criteria:
- Reduction of the wage gap between women and men: TP France scored 39 out of 40 in this criterion, which means that salary disparities are less than 1%
- Equal opportunities to earn a raise
- Equal opportunities to gain a promotion
- Women receive a raise when they return from maternity leave, whenever raises have been granted during their absence
- The number of people from the underrepresented gender among the 10 highest-paid employees
Remuneration ratio
Not disclosed for the Group overall scope. The elements for comparing the pay level of executive officers with the Company's performance and the average and median pay level of Company employees are presented in Section 4.2.2.3 of the 2024 Universal Registration Document. This analysis is carried out in accordance with applicable legal provisions for the Teleperformance SE scope and in line with the expected practice for that of French subsidiaries.
Equity remuneration ratio elements: The report notes that such an analysis exists but is limited to French subsidiaries scope and complies with French legal provisions. The Group indicates it will review the possibility of extending the scope of analysis, subject to the availability of data and the relevance of information. The Group's presence in nearly 100 countries, with a contrasting labor market and disparate living costs, complexifies the analysis.
Methodology
The gender pay gap is calculated as an average across the Group. Data concerning employees with disabilities and other diversity metrics are reported via a consolidated staff data reporting system, based on information collected in subsidiaries' HR management tools, in compliance with privacy and data protection regulations. The completeness and reliability of data may improve over time thanks to standardized deployment of the Workday HR management platform across the Group.

S4 – Consumers and End-Users
S4-1Policies related to consumers and end-usersReported
Policies related to consumers and end-users
Teleperformance has established several policies that relate to consumers and end-users, primarily focused on data security, privacy, and cybersecurity.
Data Privacy Policy
Scope: The policy applies to the whole Group in all countries where it operates.
Key content/principles: The policy expresses the Group's firm commitment to respecting and protecting the privacy and personal data of each individual, including employees, suppliers, business partners, clients and end-users. The policy provides appropriate safeguards when the Group or one of its subsidiaries processes personal data. In accordance with privacy and data protection laws and regulations applicable in EEA countries and the United Kingdom, and based on the Binding Corporate Rules, the policy also constitutes a legal mechanism governing international data transfers within the Group, whenever TP acts as a data controller or processor. Privacy by design and by default requires collecting only such data as is strictly necessary to accomplish a given task. The data is limited to the purpose for which it was collected and then deleted when no longer required, in accordance with the data storage policy and schedule.
Governance: The Chief Privacy Officer (CPO) and the Data Protection Officer (DPO) have primary and overall responsibility for ensuring compliance with the privacy policy. They report directly to a committee of the Teleperformance SE Board of Directors, provide regular reports on privacy and data protection, and ensure that privacy and data protection issues are appropriately addressed at global, regional or local level. The Global Technology, Privacy and Security Committee (TPSC) is the governance body responsible for assessing all new and existing technologies and processes, including AI tools, prior to deployment, ensuring that a Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA) has been completed. In addition to the TPSC, the Global Compliance and Security Council (GCSC) meets quarterly to review security incidents, analyze data privacy issues, assess compliance and third-party risks, ensure continued compliance with the GISPs and privacy and compliance programs, and review internal and external audit findings. Regular activity reports are presented to the Audit, Risk and Compliance Committee of the Board of Directors.
Public availability: Not explicitly stated, though a Global Ethics Hotline is accessible via the Company website.
International standards: The policy is based on the Binding Corporate Rules (BCRs), which have been noted as compliant by the French Data Protection Authority (CNIL) since 2018. The Group's compliance with the Ten Principles of the United Nations Global Compact is referenced in the Vigilance Plan context.
Monitoring implementation: All employees, including part-time employees, temporary workers and subcontractors, are trained in data security, privacy and data protection policies. As of December 31, 2024, 93% had completed their training module. The Group relies on an Internal Audit Department that reviews operational facilities on a rotating 24-month basis or, for major clients, every twelve months to ensure compliance with the GISPs and client requirements. External auditors also conduct periodic audits at selected facilities. A compliance tool has been designed to document activities and measure compliance with security regulations, security standards, and privacy and data protection laws.

The Third-Party Risk Committee ensures that all third-party risks, including personal data security matters, are identified and managed.
International standards: The Group has developed global standards and processes to ensure compliance with the Ten Principles of the United Nations Global Compact and with international labor standards.
Monitoring implementation: All employees are trained in the data security, privacy and data protection policies. Internal audits are conducted on a rotating basis, and external auditors conduct periodic audits to assess compliance with the GISPs.
