Women, work and the economy: a business case
Equality at the top for women in policymaking, in politics, in jobs that offer decision-making power still remains an aspiration.
Part of the Sustainability Leadership Series and in support of the Women’s Empowerment Principles, the seminar seeks to highlight the business case for gender equity in the workplace and more generally for women’s participation in the economy.
Bringing together experts and practitioners from across business, government and civil society the seminar will provide a platform for shared learning and discussion on identifying and seeking solutions to remove the barriers preventing the full and equal participation of women in the workforce, particularly at board and management levels, whether in the private or public sector.
