This webinar will explore the challenges responsible businesses can face when addressing gender-based discrimination and promoting gender equality in their operations and supply chains. In particular, the webinar will examine how companies can responsibly navigate this issue where local cultural, legal and/or business norms permit or promote discrimination. The webinar will also explore a range of relevant good practice – including the integration of the Women’s Empowerment Principles, a joint initiative of the Global Compact and UN Women, into business policies and practices – as well as examples of multi-national companies that have addressed this issue.
