IMPACT = Lessons from six years in gender investing
Update: 2025-01-24
Description
Worldwide, gender inequality is deeply ingrained in systems and institutions. And women’s economic participation is limited by the discrimination and unequal opportunities they face. Despite progress, the world isn’t on track to achieve gender equality by the end of this decade.
At British International Investment (BII), we are committed to making our investments work for women and, in 2018, we launched our Gender Finance Strategy. Our aim was to support companies in becoming more diverse, with more women leaders, and more high-quality jobs and products that meet women’s needs.
Six years later, we’ve taken stock of our progress and what we’re learning, and we’ve shared these findings in a report, titled ‘Closing the Gap: Lessons from six years of investing in women’, which you can find on our website.
At the end of 2024, we hosted an event to delve deeper into some of the themes in the publication and ask how we can best support businesses in further advancing gender equality.
