The Women4Business Daring Circle is committed to promoting and accelerating women’s economic empowerment in business and supply chains. It highlights the crucial role of women’s entrepreneurship and leadership for an inclusive economic recovery.
Entrepreneurship is a ready route towards both economic empowerment and growth. If women and men participated equally as entrepreneurs, global GDP could rise by up to 6%, or $5 trillion[1].
Diversity in supply chains offers a real value, increasing access to innovation and resilience within companies. Yet, the gender gap in supply chain and entrepreneurship remains disproportionately large today. Women entrepreneurs rarely have equal opportunities to compete for large contracts, and face more challenges in scaling and sustaining their businesses.
The Women4Business Daring Circle is led by P&G, in collaboration with BNP Paribas, ExxonMobil, L’Oréal, Publicis Groupe, Standard Chartered and Mazars. The Circle is supported by Knowledge Partner Kearney, Insight Partner Clifford Chance, Institutional Partner WEConnect International, Expert Member IFC, and HEC as Academic Partner, along with a diverse network of experts and corporate champions.
