During this quarterly webinar, we are publishing, in collaboration with our partners at IFC and UN Women, two important benchmarks for exchanges to measure their markets’ progress on boardroom gender equality:

  1. 08:00 Geneva / 15:00 Kuala Lumpur: Asia Regional Report on Gender Equality in Corporate Leadership: Includes 17 public markets, ranked by the gender balance of issuers boards.
  2. 15:00 Geneva / 17:00 Kenya: Africa Regional Report on Gender Equality in Corporate Leadership: Includes 13 public markets, ranked by the gender balance of issuers boards.

We have two call options to accommodate the many time zones of our partners, either at 08:00 or 15:00 Geneva Time (Central European Time).

The morning call will focus on the launch of the benchmark on gender equality in Asian markets and the afternoon call will focus on the the launch of the benchmark on gender equality in African markets

Speakers will take this opportunity to talk with exchanges and other key players in the space about their efforts to promote gender equality in companies.

About the SSE

​The SSE initiative is a UN Partnership Programme organised by UNCTAD, the UN Global Compact, UNEP FI and the PRI. The SSE’s mission is to provide a global platform for exploring how exchanges, in collaboration with investors, companies (issuers), regulators, policymakers and relevant international organizations, can enhance performance on ESG (environmental, social and corporate governance) issues and encourage sustainable investment, including the financing of the UN Sustainable Development Goals. The SSE seeks to achieve this mission through an integrated programme of conducting evidence-based policy analysis, facilitating a network and forum for multi-stakeholder consensus-building, and providing technical assistance and advisory services.
