We are excited to announce the launch of the Sophare Global Pay Gap Monitor, a public, data-rich view of gender pay gap reporting across the UK, Ireland, and France.

What you can do on the new site​

The monitor is built for fast exploration and transparency. Here is what is available today:

Market overview by country​

  • A high-level snapshot of the most recent data, including total companies, average cents/pence on the euro or pound, improving vs. worsening trends, and the average composite score.
  • A top 10 performers table to quickly see the strongest pay equity scores.
  • Pay equity by company size, with a drill-down into the top 100 companies in each size band.
  • A sortable company rankings table with grades, composite scores, and base pay gap indicators.

Company search and profiles​

  • Search any company with autocomplete and jump into a detailed profile.
  • A single-page overview that brings together the composite score, trend score, current performance, reporting dates, responsible person, and a letter grade.
  • Multi-year trend charts for mean and median hourly and bonus pay gaps.
  • Quartile distribution charts showing gender representation across pay bands.
  • Raw pay gap metrics and bonus participation rates, plus advanced reporting quality metrics and detected signals.

Industry insights​

  • An interactive industry heatmap to compare sector-level pay equity performance.
  • Sector summaries with company counts, average scores, and average trends.
  • Detailed company listings by industry, ranked with grades and scores for fast benchmarking.

Methodology transparency​

  • A full breakdown of the scoring methodology by country, with a consistent A–F grading system.
  • UK scoring includes trend analysis, current performance, industry leadership, structural equity, reporting quality, leadership engagement and stability, and transparency signals, plus a fallback methodology when industry codes are missing.
  • Ireland and France follow country-specific scoring models, including the French Index Egalite Professionnelle components.

Built with Carnegie Mellon students​

This launch was made possible through a collaboration with a Carnegie Mellon University student team:

  • Albert Han
  • Jiamin Cai
  • Yutong Bai
  • Shreya Gupta
  • Vaibhavi Udgirkar

Their work powered key parts of the dashboard experience and the core data presentation. CMU Team Spotlight
