Gender Pay Gap Report 2025: further progress made at Urenco
25 March 2026 Urenco ChemPlants NewsIn line with UK legislation, the UK Gender Pay Gap Report has been produced for Urenco employees in the UK for the year ending 5 April 2025. The term ‘gender pay gap’ is defined as the difference in average gross hourly earnings between women and men. The findings of the report suggests that Urenco is continuing to close the gap in hourly pay between male and female employees at the company.
On the snapshot date of 5 April 2025, Urenco employed 1,397 people across its five UK entities, 26.5% of whom were women – an increase of 1.1% since 2024. In 2025, the mean hourly pay gap for Urenco employees in the UK decreased by 7.6 percentage points, to 2.4% - down 21.7% since our reporting began.
We acknowledge that the main drivers of our gender pay gap are the types of jobs we offer and the wider industry in which we operate, which has historically seen the consistent under-representation of women.
Operational, senior leadership and technical specialist roles within engineering and projects are typically held by more males than females.
We remain committed to addressing this challenge via a global I&D Accreditation and are currently in the process of finalising our global I&D ambitions and goals for 2026 – 2030.
Urenco CEO, Boris Schucht said:
“Urenco is committed to creating an inclusive and diverse workforce, which in turn retains and attracts a broad range of talent in our business.
“Having a diverse workplace in which different voices are heard and accepted encourages our employees to actively engage in their work environment and build strong relationships with their colleagues, resulting in higher levels of job satisfaction, productivity, staff retention and overall business success.”
