Gender Equality Index:
Presented as a score out of 100, the gender equality index consists of five indicators that assess inequalities between women and men in companies: wage gaps, disparities in individual raises and promotions, the proportion of women receiving raises upon returning from maternity leave, and the number of women and men among the top ten highest salaries.
Besson is unable to determine its index for 2024. However, we know that the success of our company depends on the well-being and commitment of all our employees!

What is a managing agent?
The managing agent is a legally independent retailer.
Within their own company (LLC, single-member LLC, etc.), they run their store while adhering to the company’s commercial policy. Besson entrusts them with the operation and management of its stores' business assets.
The business assets remain entirely the property of Besson, which assumes all the operational risks.
The stock is also owned by Besson, which controls the store’s product assortment.
The managing agent is paid a commission based on the store’s sales revenue.
No entry fee is required.
Their main tasks consist of:
- Recruit and supervise their own staff.
- Develop sales and the profit margin of various departments.
- Carry out targeted operations, especially in merchandising, sales events, promotions, and more generally manage local communications.
- Ensure customer satisfaction in their store and reflect the “Besson Chaussures” brand image.
