Summary
Achieving gender equality in supply chains remains a significant challenge. Although organisations and initiatives worldwide have committed to promoting gender equality, turning these commitments into concrete actions is still a work in progress.
To support this effort, Evidensia, in partnership with The Alliance of Bioversity International and CIAT, under the CGIAR Initiative on Gender Equality, hosted the launch of a new toolkit, designed to help sustainability systems and their partners advance their approaches to gender equality.
The event outlined three key levels at which sustainability systems can address gender equality: within their own organisations, through standards and certifications, and via broader programmatic efforts. By highlighting ongoing initiatives and best practices, the event aimed to inspire diverse perspectives, share findings, and encourage participants to learn from successful examples.
