On International Women’s Rights Day, Somater is honoring the women who contribute every day to moving our company forward.

Our industry is evolving and is now enriched by female talent at all levels of the organization: production, quality, technical and support services, management functions, and more.

This day is an opportunity to recognize these career paths, promote diversity, and remind everyone that gender diversity is a real driver of performance, creativity, and progress for our industry.

In 2025, the male/female equality indices in the workplace were as follows:

• Somater scored 94/100
• Plastuni Normandie scored 84/100

We are committed to actively pursuing our policy in favor of professional equality, which is a key component of our HR policy and our sustainable performance:

• Reduction of pay gaps through detailed annual analysis of gaps, systematic verification of increases, promotions to neutralize unjustified gaps, and communication during CSE (Social and Economic Committee) meetings.
• Enabling women to access the highest salaries by identifying and supporting female talent, providing greater access to management roles, and promoting upward internal mobility for existing female employees.

We had the honor of welcoming at our Marolles site the Sub-Prefect of Sarthe, the Mayor of Marolles-lès-Saint-Calais, the President of the Community of Communes of the Braye and Anille Valleys, and the Economic Development Officer.

This visit provided an opportunity for constructive dialogue between Somater, government representatives, and elected officials. We were able to share our realities on the ground:

• The level of regulatory requirements we meet,
• The key role of public policy in giving mid-sized companies the means to achieve their ambitions,
• Our teams’ commitment to competitiveness, performance, and responsibility.

Our discussions were particularly fruitful on economic and regional issues: taxation, competitiveness, employment, CSR, and local development.

At Somater, we are convinced that our performance goes hand in hand with strong regional roots. So, thank you to the government representatives and elected officials for the quality of our discussions and the ideas put forward for the development of the borough.

At Pharmapack Paris 2026, the Somater teams will be on hand to discuss your pharmaceutical packaging challenges: industrial performance, quality, innovation, and eco-design.

This is a great opportunity to talk about your current and future projects, discover our solutions, and share our vision of responsible, sustainable, and high-performance packaging.

Come and meet us at booth 4C82 – Paris Expo Porte de Versailles – Hall 4!

We are proud to announce that our group has once again confirmed its performance and management of its carbon impact, with a CDP Climate Change B rating for the third consecutive year.

This recognition is fully in line with our CSR approach and our decarbonization trajectory, which we implement on a daily basis in our factories and in close partnership with our customers.

This new rating encourages us to continue and intensify our actions to contribute to a more responsible and low-carbon industry.

Thank you to all our teams and partners for supporting us in this commitment!
