At EY, our purpose is Building a better working world for our people, our clients and our communities. We are committed to ensuring a culture focus on diversity, equity and inclusion.
In July 2021, the Gender Pay Gap Information Act 2021 (the “Act)” was signed into law and now employers with 50 or more employees are required to calculate and report their gender pay gap figures. The gender pay gap is the difference in the average (median and mean) hourly earnings between men and women across a workforce. The pay gap and equal pay are different; Equal pay is being paid the same for the same/similar work.
Our data for this report includes all EY Republic of Ireland employees.
Our 2025 Gender Pay Gap
We are pleased to share our 2025 Gender Pay Gap Report, which demonstrates positive momentum in closing the gap and advancing gender equity across our firm.
This year, we have achieved decreases in our mean hourly pay gap, median hourly pay gap and our mean bonus gap reflecting our continued focus on equitable reward structures.
Representation remains a priority, and our ambition is clear: achieve 50/50 gender parity in our management and leadership cohort with a near-term goal of 35% female representation among equity partners. We are accelerating change through targeted actions, impactful interventions, and sustained efforts to ensure meaningful progress.
