Social Sustainability
Our workforce of over 1,800 employees in France represents a wide range of cultures, backgrounds, and roles, reflecting the diversity and breadth of GLS France's activities.
To support all our employees, we develop strategies and implement initiatives to promote the well-being of our teams.
We put people first
"Every day, our teams connect people, businesses and communities. To fulfil this mission, we rely on the richness of our people's talents, backgrounds and experiences.
We believe that diversity is a driver of innovation, performance and progress. That is why we are committed to providing everyone with a respectful, inclusive and fair working environment, where every employee can develop their skills, unlock their potential and grow throughout their career.
Our value, "We put people first" guides our decisions, our practices and our approach to leadership. By empowering everyone to contribute fully to our mission, we strengthen the quality of service we provide to our customers while helping to build a more responsible company.
Because connecting the world also means creating the conditions for everyone to find their place and thrive."

We focus on a range of social initiatives covering health, poverty, diversity, and culture.
GLS France partners with the Red Cross
During the holiday season, GLS France joined forces with the French Red Cross: visibility offered on our B2C parcel tracking page for 3 million parcels, a “Christmas Boxes” operation with employees, and an exceptional donation of parcels worth €20,000. A concrete effort to support those most in need.
Donation of 100,000 meals to animal shelters
During the holiday season, GLS France and Ultra Premium Direct joined forces to provide 100,000 meals to 30 animal shelters across France, supporting volunteers and contributing to the well-being of abandoned dogs and cats throughout the winter.
Charity run for prostate cancer
GLS France took part in the 7th edition of the Course des Bacchantes in Toulouse, a charity event dedicated to raising awareness about screening and fundraising for the fight against prostate cancer.
Supporting people with disabilities at GLS France
Support for RQTH employees and an optimized process for workplace adjustments, disability awareness, and training through courses and e-learning programs.
Partnership with Handipro on awareness, integration by managers, recruitment, and inclusive communication.
Every year, we participate in DuoDay, a day during which our employees form a duo with a person with a disability to introduce them to their job and their daily life.
Take the pulse of your daily life
Concerned about the well-being of our teams, GLS France has implemented the Pulsations survey, conducted twice a year to give employees a voice. It allows everyone to share their experience of their daily work life, and the feedback helps us better understand expectations, identify key areas of attention, and guide our actions to gradually improve our working environment.
French language and literacy classes
GLS France is committed to supporting employees in their personal and professional development. The training department has set up French literacy courses for those who wish to take part. Since the end of 2024, 17 employees, divided into four groups according to their level, have been attending classes once a week.
This has given them the opportunity to improve their understanding and expression of the French language and to adapt to their new working environment.
Crash test simulation
In order to raise public awareness of the importance of wearing seat belts, GLS France organized a dozen events on this topic. During these events, simulators equipped with a 360° rotation axis were used to reproduce the movements observed in real accidents.
Professional training courses
We are committed to offering you professional development opportunities and rewarding career prospects. Various paths are available, such as the Potential Path, our internal program dedicated to developing talent at GLS France. It's an adventure that combines training, immersive experiences, and group projects!
Quality of Life and Working Conditions (QLWC)
Attentive to the well-being of our employees, GLS France offers a QLWC program with individual and collective actions: addiction prevention day, webinars on sleep, nutrition, stress management, etc.
