Why ESG Policies Matter for Gender Equality at Work
Webinar Recording
More and more, we’re seeing studies on gender inequality showing how 1) pay equity, 2) diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), and 3) economic, social, and governance (ESG) policies are interconnected. The results of these studies highlight the increasing demand for companies to consider all three policy aspects when making strategic decisions around their teams.
It’s evident that pay equity and DEI metrics have become an integral part of the social side of ESG, and new emerging regulations are now requiring organizations to report on this. From diversity in the workplace to equitable pay, women have been found to be the most underutilized source of growth and business results.
Our guest speakers, Stephanie Kelly and Abigail Watt of Aberdeen Standard Investments Research Institute, focus on finding what drives differences in female participation in the workforce. Their research provides key evidence to engage organizations in setting effective ESG policies, and opening up important dialogue about the role that companies and investors have in creating equal opportunities.
