The Equal Pay Act and the Transparency and Equal Pay Reports for Women and Men for the 2nd half of 2025 Bahiana

In compliance with the Equal Pay Law No. 14.611 of 2023, MTE Ordinance No. 3.714, and Decree No. 11.795/2023, Bahiana publishes below the Transparency and Equal Pay Reports for Women and Men for the 2nd half of 2025, by CNPJ with 100 or more employees, prepared by the Ministry of Labor and Employment (MTE) based on data from E-social 2025 and policies/criteria declared on the Emprega Brasil Portal in August 2025.

Based on the results of the reports, the Bahiana reaffirms its commitment to equity and women represent the majority and have higher average pay, the data reflects significant advances in gender equity and professional appreciation. Currently, approximately 60% of the staff is composed of women, who also hold the majority of leadership positions, including directors and managers. At the top of the institution's career structure, we have a woman as rector/general coordinator, demonstrating the protagonism of women in all spheres of the institution.

These results are the result of ongoing work and a strategic vision focused on ensuring equal opportunities for entry, development, and compensation, regardless of gender. We believe that internal people management policies, based on objective criteria and competency-based methodology, continue to strengthen fair selection, promotion, and compensation practices, while also respecting gender, ethnic, and generational diversity.

The excellence of this performance was recognized nationally: Bahiana is among the best companies to work for in Brazil, ranking 14th in the GPTW Mulher ranking and 1st in Bahia.

Data from the Ministry of Labor's (MTE) reports confirm this reality: all of the institution's CNPJs (Brazilian Taxpayers' Registry) are predominantly female—and, in many of them, Black women. Furthermore, the average salaries and median contractual wages of female employees exceed those of male employees, reflecting the fact that women occupy the majority of strategic positions.

Despite the positive results, the Bahiana remains attentive to opportunities for improvement highlighted in the reports, especially regarding the average salaries of predominantly male operational groups. The commitment to equity is ongoing and guides every decision made by the institution.

Data that contribute to the equity identified in the MTE report:

• 60% of the staff of Bahiana is composed of women;
• 70% of women hold management/director positions;
• 65% of women hold senior positions;
• 63% of the teaching staff is made up of women;
• 68% of full-time faculty contracts are held by women;
• 65% of teaching positions with doctorates and master's degrees are occupied by women.
