IEFC Non-Discrimination and Equal Opportunity Policy
IEFC is a European non-profit association governed by the law of 1 July 1901 and the decree of 16 August 1901. As such, it is subject to French legislation on non-discrimination as described in Articles L1132-1 à L1132-4 of the French Labour Code.
The IEFC Board of Directors is vigilant in respecting the non-discrimination of its employees. As such, it has subscribed to the SYNTEC collective agreement, article 3.1 of which defines the non-discrimination rules that apply within the association.
SYNTEC AGREEMENT – Article 3.1: Principle of non-discrimination
Employers undertake not to take any discriminatory measures, particularly with regard to recruitment, the conduct and allocation of work, vocational training, remuneration and the granting of social benefits, promotion, disciplinary measures or termination of the employment contract.
In particular, no action may be taken on the grounds of their:
- Origin

- Particular vulnerability resulting from one's economic situation, apparent or known to the perpetrator
- Membership or non-membership, real or supposed, of an ethnic group, nation or so-called race
- Political opinions
