Gender Pay Audit Report, 2021

Sophos is committed to building an inclusive
culture, where everyone feels they can do thebest work of their careers. We believe thatdiversity of all types is critical to our ability
to adapt to a fast-changing environment. A
diverse workforce provides new outlooks andperspectives, which improve problem solving,and innovative outcomes. Our business simply
performs better when employees from all
backgrounds, age, race, sexual orientation,religion, national origin or gender work
coherently together.
In France, legislation requires all companies
from March 1, 2020 with 50 or more employees
to conduct and publish a Gender Pay Audit. This
examines pay data between men and womenfor our French employees only. We welcome
this opportunity to reflect and test how wedeliver on our internal commitment to inclusionand equality. The report encourages greatertransparency and understanding, and better
equips us to drive actions that will affect realchange.
The figure for the Gender Pay Audit obtainedby Sophos in 2021 for 2020 is 84 points outof a total of 100 points. This score consists ofpoints awarded under a number of different
categories, such as salary comparison between
men and women per age group and levelof responsibility and the number of salary

increases based on gender. This is the second
year we have conducted an audit in France, andwe are pleased to announce an improvement fromlast year even if we still have opportunities forimprovement.

In addition, we have introduced:

Over the last year, Sophos has launched a
Diversity & Inclusion panel, which consists ofvolunteers across our global locations. The panel
meets quarterly to share ideas and best practices,
identify and promote diversity policy and actions,and provide a diverse and representative voice
to inform key decisions. As part of the initiative,
we have initiated several Employee Resource
Groups (ERGs), which provide an open forum for
employees who share a common identity and/or allyship to meet and support one another inbuilding their community and sense of belonging
at Sophos. We have relaunched our Sophos
Women in Technology ERG, which has beenstrengthened by a global Chair and core actiongroup, who are helping to steer global projects andinitiatives including recruitment, compensation
and benefits, community outreach, and internal
education and advocacy.
