Target Gender Equality
Target Gender Equality (TGE) is a six-month programme for participating companies of the UN Global Compact. It supports companies to turn their gender equality commitments into concrete actions, aligned with best practices and international standards, such as the Women’s Empowerment Principles (WEPs).
By joining, you will gain a clear understanding of how to build a holistic, sustainable approach to gender equality across your workplace, supply chains, and communities. Whether you’re just beginning your gender equality journey or aiming to scale your efforts, TGE offers the resources and support to help your company thrive as a leader in gender equality.
Programme benefits:
- Understand your current gender equality performance through the Women’s Empowerment Principles (WEPs) Gender Gap Analysis Tool, to align the company with best practices and international standards;
- Develop an action plan covering KPIs, policies, and interventions, shaped by peer feedback and expert guidance;
- Engage with experts in discussions and workshops on key topics;
- Build a network of industry peers, UN partners, and global gender equality experts to support your long-term strategy.
A certificate will be provided upon programme completion!
