The cargo division of the International Airlines Group, IAG Cargo has taken the second spot in The Equity Index 2022/23 which is produced by Lead 5050, a cross-industry accreditation body, that ranked firms using official data on average salaries, bonuses, and pay at every level.
The well-respected IAG Cargo was only beaten by the pharmaceutical giant GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) after data showed the business had a very small median and mean overall pay gap, with pay more evenly spread throughout all levels of the organisation.
Leanne Linacre, chief executive officer of Lead5050, said: "Whilst the UK is a world leader in ensuring employers provide transparent data on gender-related pay, after years of progress, the gender pay gap for full-time workers has increased.
At the same time, the number of job vacancies rose to a record level last year whilst the cost-of-living crisis continues to bite adversely affecting women who are having to reduce their hours of work because of the cost of childcare.
"Closing the gender pay gap would strengthen the economy as higher wages would encourage more women to either enter the labour market or extend their working hours."
Launched in 2008, the everywoman in Transport & Logistics Awards aims to inspire more women to progress in careers within a traditionally male-dominated industry. With women only accounting for 20% of the 1.7 million people working in transport and logistics, the awards seek to create role models that will inspire future female talent who may not see the industry as an option to them.
