The Pledge is a commitment from your organisation to strive for a more inclusive industry, improve business environments for women and champion equal representation on boards.
In signing the Pledge, your organisation agrees to support the initiatives and aspires to change in areas such as:
- Attract, develop, and promote more women in our company and industry, and do this in a fair way;
- Close our Gender Pay Gap;
- Champion and recognise the achievements of women;
- Work collaboratively to create an environment that welcomes and helps retain women.
We acknowledge that change for the better will not happen on its own. We know it is vital that every company signing this Pledge commits to establishing its own continuous improvement plan with measurable objectives and clearly defined outcomes.
For some, this plan will involve only small changes; for others, improvement may be a long-term business transformation project.
Regardless of our particular starting point, we commit to measuring and monitoring progress and, where necessary and appropriate, adjusting our plan so that the goals of this Pledge can be achieved.
We recognise there is no single action to deliver the Pledge that we will strive and aspire to achieve. We can, however, evaluate how the following best practice examples could be implemented as part of an action plan in our own organisation. We will aim to work collaboratively with external organisations, our clients and supply chain, to share and expand impact wherever possible.
