2026 Dashboard of Global Social Protection Programmes of French Companies

Discover the current landscape and key trends in supplementary social protection within large French multinational companies.

The Dashboard of Global Social Protection Programmes of French Companies provides a comprehensive, comparative overview of the global social protection programmes implemented by major French companies that are members of the French-speaking business platform for social protection floors within the GBN (Global Business Network for Social Protection Floors) network. It serves as an analytical tool for examining how companies are engaging with social protection at the international level.

Grounded in the standards of ILO Convention No. 102 and enriched by emerging themes such as parental leave, support for carers and quality of working life, this document covers 13 major social risks. It offers a clearer understanding of coverage levels, the types of benefits provided and the ways in which programmes are deployed across different geographical regions.

Key figures :

• Family first: Maternity (81%) and paternity (69%) are the best-covered risks.
• A shift towards mental health: 69% of companies now integrate psychosocial risks and Quality of Working Life (QWL) into their global baseline.
• Medical care: 56% of companies provide international health coverage — a trend that has accelerated significantly since the 2020 crisis.
• New challenges: Support for employee carers is emerging (38%), in response to the challenges posed by demographic ageing.

This dashboard is not intended to rank or certify companies, but to serve as an analytical and decision-support tool. It highlights best practices, underlying trends and areas for improvement — particularly on issues that remain poorly covered, such as disability, unemployment and sickness benefits.

The data presented, collected over the course of 2025, reflect a growing momentum in corporate social policies, accelerated by recent transformations in the world of work. They also illustrate an increasing focus on family-related issues, mental health and emerging social risks.
