AT THE GLOBAL MEETING, THE CEOs COMMITTING FOR GENDER EQUALITY

Women’s Forum Global Meeting
CEO Champions
Paris, November 19, 2021

In the framework of the Women’s Forum Global Meeting and under the theme “The 21st century needs everyone on board”, the Women’s Forum has gathered global leaders in the private sector in order for them to highlight best practices in gender equality and engage for action. They have shared valuable contributions and underscored their company’s strategies for women’s advancement and leadership in the broader global economy and society.

The discussion have started with the remarkable opening of Maurice Lévy, President of Supervisory Board, Publicis Group, followed by inspiring insights from Alyse Nelson, President & CEO of Vital Voices Global Partnership on the unique added value of women leadership in the workplace.

McKinsey & Co, our historical knowledge partner, has delivered a cutting-edge study on the impact of digital transitions on women and how to make the future growth more inclusive, illustrating in particular key figures about gender equality in the post-pandemic future of Europe.

Drawing inspiration from the great success of the first launch of the commitment “Towards the Zero Gender Gap”, presented at the Women’s Forum G20 Italy (Milan – October, 17th-19th), CEOs have committed in favor of gender equality and joined the coalition of signatories of this Pact. It is built around 5 key strategic actions (each of them accompanied by some suggested ideas for implementation):

  • Continue to mitigate the impacts of unconscious bias from our hiring and promotion processes
  • Establish aspirational female recruiting and promotion targets
  • Support female talent retention and advancement
  • Ensure that equal pay for equal work is in place and effective
  • Regularly measure, monitor, and evaluate progress in all of the above actions
