Target Gender Equality is a year-long accelerator programme for participating companies of the UN Global Compact to set and reach ambitious corporate targets for women’s representation and leadership.
Through facilitated performance analysis, capacity building workshops, peer-to-peer learning, and multi-stakeholder dialogue at the country-level, companies can deepen the implementation of the Women’s Empowerment Principles and strengthen their contribution to the achievement of Sustainable Development Goal 5.5 which calls for women’s full participation and equal opportunities for leadership, including in economic life, by 2030.
