Gender equality is the cornerstone of inclusive growth. Providing equal access to public office and economic opportunities to both men and women is vital for achieving a more sustainable economy. Failing to do so means losing the human capital of approximately half the populations, thus heavily compromising countries’ full potential for growth and national development.
The European way of life calls for the inclusion and equal treatment of men and women at all levels, for a Union that translates diversity into a competitive advantage. In this respect, the European Commission is working within the Skills Agenda and the European Education Area, to make education accessible and inclusive, encouraging lifelong learning, reskilling, and cross-border learning for all men and women.
Join this roundtable to discover how materiality and stakeholder management has evolved and became increasingly important to address equality and inclusion in business development and decision-making process inside a company.
Together with participants, we will:
Identify diversity and gender equality as dynamic ESG issues relevant across-industry, and how to include them in your materiality assessment.
Explore how to integrate diversity and gender equality in business operations, corporate communication and stakeholder’s engagement.
Present guidelines, frameworks, and tools, including the Strategy for the Promotion of Gender Equality and the Women's Empowerment Principles, that can support businesses in incorporating diversity and gender equality.
Tackle models and indicators exceeding regulatory obligations that have already been created and successfully implemented by businesses, rating agencies, and stock exchanges around the world.
