It is becoming increasingly clear that Diversity, Gender Equality and Inclusion are keys to more Sustainable and Profitable companies!

 

When employees feel included, they’re more engaged. This higher engagement has a ripple effect on profitability, team morale and retention. Diverse teams can also better identify products and services that fit the needs of emerging customer profiles. As well as raise skills and increase the creation of new innovations.

 

However, it is still a challenge for many companies to drive the diversity, gender equality and inclusion work forward. It is especially difficult for companies with established patterns and strong structures to change.

But, change is possible!

About WEPs

The Women’s Empowerment Principles (WEPs) are a set of Principles offering guidance to business on how to promote gender equality and women’s empowerment in the workplace, marketplace and community.

Established by UN Global Compact and UN Women, the WEPs are informed by international labour and human rights standards and grounded in the recognition that businesses have a stake in, and a responsibility for, gender equality and women’s empowerment.

WEPs are a primary vehicle for corporate delivery on gender equality dimensions of the 2030 agenda and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
