HeForShe IMPACT 10x10x10 Corperate Parity Report 2016

This first-ever HeForShe Report tells the story of the 10 Corporates.

This group of 10 companies spans 10 industries and employs more than a million people in 190 countries around the world. Their approaches to women’s empowerment are unique and collectively comprehensive, with programs ranging from skill building for farmers to mentorship for c-suite executives. Despite the diversity of their business models, they face common challenges around gender equality, and have made a common commitment to its achievement.

Through HeForShe, they have committed to accelerate progress towards parity in their workforce and throughout their footprints, reporting on progress as they do so.

In this first year, companies have focused on implementation. Over the years to come, these 10 companies will work together, testing innovative approaches and sharing proven practices across the group. To establish a baseline against which future progress will be measured, companies agreed to report the representation of women across four roles, described in detail on page 14. The data disclosure is a critical output of year one, and a bold approach to coordinated and transparent gender reporting across industries. Like their peers across the private sector, these companies have made strides towards overall gender balance: 39.7% of their employees are women.
