via Yahoo!: Coalition for Gender Fair Procurement Launches Global Event Calling for Action on Gender Equity
Like-minded organizations Logitech, Andela, and Zoetis have formed The Coalition for Gender Fair Procurement to advance gender equity by leveraging the untapped power of trillions of dollars in corporate procurement. To crystallize this exciting new partnership and inspire others, The Coalition for Gender Fair Procurement will host "Procurement for Equality" on November 2, 2022 - a global virtual event for procurement leaders, Chief Diversity Officers, and anyone looking to make an impact within and beyond their company
In recent years, gender equity has stalled, and it's time for bold action, not just by consumers but by corporations whose buying power and influence exceed that of consumers.
““When more progressive procurement leaders link arms with coalitions like ours to make their spend count, we know we can get to gender equity faster””
An ally for gender equality, Logitech president and CEO Bracken Darrell says, "Becoming a Gender Fair company helps remove biases and establishes common metrics to drive positive momentum towards gender equality. There are trillions of dollars of spending power embedded within suppliers and by activating gender fairness across more companies we can move the whole world."
Focused on action, the Coalition invites any organization to join this effort, by assessing themselves on gender, asking their suppliers to do the same, and becoming a member of Gender Fair (if eligible) to activate their commitment more broadly.
