Iris Van der Veken (F)
Secretary-General/ Executive Director
"The time is now! Let us make this decade count for SDG 5. We have a shared responsibility to leave no one behind. This will need a new mindset, strong measurable commitments, new ways of rebuilding our societies, economies and businesses. Governments, CEO’s, NGO’s, academic institutions, investors, each one of us needs to step up. I am deeply committed to implementing the Women’s Empowerment Principles on behalf of the Watch & Jewellery Initiative 2030 and I encourage other leaders in the global jewellery and watch ecosystem to join us in this commitment. We endorse these principles and are committed to living up to them. Our stakeholders, members, employees – women and men -- expect it, and our consumers deserve it.”
