LIFE AT THE YARD

At The Yard, our company culture is built on strong human values, with passion, excellence, and collaboration at the heart of everything we do. We actively support career development, ensuring every team member has equal opportunities to grow their skills and advance within the company.

In France, the commitment to professional equalty is measured through the Gender Equality Index, established under the 2018 “Avenir professionnel” law for companies with 50+ employees. In 2025, we achieved a score of 90/100, a strong result that reflects our sustained efforts and dedication to transparency, accountability, and continuous progress, across four official criteria : gender pay gap (35/40), individual salary increase gap (35/35), salary increases after maternity leave (15/15), and representation among top 10 salaries (5/10).

The Yard also engages with local and international communities. We represent the visual effects industry at French and global events and collaborate with key industry players across the sector. Our innovation roadmap includes partnerships with higher education institutions, film studios, research laboratories, and pioneering industries in the VFX sector.
