HOW DOES GENDER EQUALITY BENEFIT YOUR BUSINESS?

Promoting gender equality and womenʼs empowerment throughout the value chain is not only the right thing to do for today’s private and public sector leaders, but it makes business sense: it can increase productivity, enhance growth, reduce risk and positively impact brand and goodwill.

EMPLOYEES & LEADERS Go to Page

Enhancing inclusion and diversity in your workforce and among leaders requires gender equitable strategies for recruitment, retention and promotion. It also requires building a supportive workplace culture for all employees.

SUPPLY CHAIN ACTORS Go to Page

Women are present throughout supply chains – as factory workers, farmers, or other workers; as owners of businesses companies source from, and as retailers that companies sell goods through. Supporting the well-being of workers in your supply chain has opportunities to increase productivity and reduce risk.

COMMUNITY MEMBERS Go to Page

Many underlying causes of gender gaps originate outside the workplace—in the communities where companies operate. Gender gaps are created and reinforced by broader social, legal and economic factors. Supporting women as community members can benefit society, business and broader economies.

CONSUMERS Go to Page

For many markets, particularly in developing countries—companies haven’t yet tailored products for women or made great efforts to market products to women. Designing for and marketing to women allows companies to expand into new markets, target new consumers, and boost sales to existing customers.
