Universal Fair Pay Check®
The World Standard for Fair Pay
With its status as a European certification mark from the EUIPO, the UNIVERSAL FAIR PAY CHECK® from the Fair Pay Innovation Lab (FPI) has set a global gold standard in fair pay certification. Developed to verify companies of all sizes and locations, this certification is recognized as the definitive mark of fair pay excellence.
FPI’s proprietary Fair Pay Matrix goes beyond the traditional gender pay gap to identify and measure inequities across age, ethnicity, and other demographic factors, aligning companies with UN Sustainable Development Goals 5, 8, and 10. With this matrix, the UNIVERSAL FAIR PAY CHECK® allows organizations to assess and communicate their progress toward global equality standards.
Our aim: a certification as uncomplicated and seamless as possible, but at the same time, from the outset we focused on ensuring this was a top-quality award. After all, we want to guarantee to stakeholders, investors and employees that the companies that we certify actually do provide fair pay.
Setting Global Standards in Certification
Representing a breakthrough in certification, the UNIVERSAL FAIR PAY CHECK® meets the highest global standards, supported by pro bono expertise from Berlin’s dtb lawyers. The certification’s unique quality seal is an assurance for companies striving to be recognized as industry icons of fair pay, in Europe and beyond.
Backed by German Federal Minister Hubertus Heil and awarded to leading companies like BMW AG, Kering, Chiesi or Siemens Energy AG the UNIVERSAL FAIR PAY CHECK® now stands as the most respected certification mark for fair pay worldwide.
