When women are empowered and included, economies grow, communities thrive and businesses flourish.
By taking action on gender equality you can improve performance and gain an important advantage:
- When women serve as leaders and employees of companies, businesses benefit and performance improves
- On average across countries, long-run GDP per capita would be almost 20 per cent higher if gender employment gaps were closed
- When boardrooms are gender balanced, enterprises are 20 per cent more likely to have improved business outcomes
- Gender equality in the workplace can help unlock more than $12 trillion in new market value linked to the SDGs
