Business leaders across the globe agree that gender equality is a business priority. The business case to adopt a holistic approach to gender equality is clear — not only is advancing gender equality as the right thing to do, but it is also good for business and a key component in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Research shows that companies with high female representation have annual returns 3 percentage points higher (Morgan Stanley, 2019) and women’s business leadership is linked to better ESG performance, including reduced greenhouse gas emissions, stronger worker relations and reduced incidence of fraud, insider trading, and other unethical practices (IFC, 2019).
Target Gender Equality is an accelerator program to support participating companies of the UN Global Compact in setting and reaching ambitious corporate targets for women’s representation and leadership across business at all levels, through facilitated performance analysis, capacity building workshops, peer-to-peer learning and multi-stakeholders dialogue at the country-level.
It is also an opportunity for companies to deepen implementation of the Women’s Empowerment Principles (WEPs) and to strengthen its contribution toward Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 5.5.
