GENDER
EQUALITY MEANS
BUSiNESS
It is a proven fact that gender-mixed teams perform better, are more innovative and likely to generate more profit. A look into the status quo in Switzerland becomes an urgent wake-up call. In management and executive boards, women are still a minority. It’s high time to take effective action, because including women in leadership makes business sense.

OUR
MISSION and objective
We believe that sustained success depends on having a balanced gender mix at all levels of an organization and support our member companies with a concrete program to turn diversity into a competitive advantage.
Our objective is to reach a sustainable minimum of 30% female representation at all management levels across all member companies by 2030.
we create impact by
- advancing the female talent in our member companies and helping them thrive,
- sensitizing men and management about the topic as key change agents on this journey,
- connecting our member companies, offering them platforms for cross-company exchange and allowing best practices to be adopted faster by others,
- shaping public opinion with national initiatives, whitepapers and campaigns,
- and by creating transparency through providing Swiss facts and figures on diversity and inclusion in our annual Advance & HSG Gender Intelligence Report
