In cooperation with partners like Included, the FPI shows how to implement a pay system that is fair for all employees: neutral, objective, and with stereotype-free structures that leave no room for discrimination.

To support companies in implementing fair pay, the FPI award them the UNIVERSAL FAIR PAY CHECK, currently the most effective certification for fair pay. The internationally recognized certification process offers reliable guidance in the complex certification jungle and is impactful monitoring, management, and communication tool in the implementation of equal opportunities and equality in companies and organisations.
