Progress on gender equality and non-discrimination is facing growing challenges. As institutional and societal shifts reinforce long-standing barriers to the full realization of equal rights for women and marginalized groups, companies have an opportunity to demonstrate leadership by ensuring inclusion and gender equality remain core strategic priorities. The private sector has the responsibility and the influence to not just be observers but active defenders of gender equality.
This confidential session offers a trusted forum for business leaders to examine emerging and long-standing challenges, navigate backlash, and explore opportunities to collaboratively advance progress.

Drawing upon the frameworks established by the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights and the Women's Empowerment Principles (WEPs), alongside expert input from leading practitioners, participants will explore strategies and practical steps to safeguard gender equality and inclusion and advance business resilience in an increasingly complex global environment.

Selecting this session includes access to the UN Global Compact Hub for the entire day.
