Approach climb

Hello, got the following problem.

Was looking for the approach climb gradient chart in the AFM. As we all know, a double engine aircraft needs to have a climb gradient of 2.1%. This required gradient, is this gross or net? In the chart they always give an gross gradient outcome, but i thought that gross was only being used for test pilots flying under perfect conditions etc.
Somebody can give me more explanations?
