Gender pay gap is calculated as average male hourly remuneration minus average female hourly remuneration divided by average male hourly remuneration times 100. Remuneration covers gross remuneration for male and female employees during the reporting year with hourly male and female remuneration calculated by applying a standardised work year of 1,000 and 2,000 hours for average part-time and full-time employees respectively. Remuneration for employees not identifying as male or female is either excluded or proportionally allocated to males and females by relevant country.
