In the perspective of CSR, the '' fair parity '' in decision-making bodies is a permanent debate at the same time a strategy of sustainable development of HR. The kind appears therefore as a constraint for the managers. This constraint is justified by the 'glass ceiling' that characterizes the vast majority of companies on the planet. But CSR would that there is equitable access of men and women to positions in responsibility and in administrative bodies. In this context, this research aims to identify the determinants of the diversity of the decision-making bodies and to analyze their impact on the performance of the company. The achievement of this objective would position itself compared to the international constraints imposed by "fair parity." From a quantitative analysis of 100 companies, the results highlight a low parity of their Board of Directors, and a marginal but significant effect on the performance of the company.
