Zusammen mit EqualVoice freuen wir uns auf einen virtuellen Anlass am 19. November zum Thema ‘Gleichstellung ist ein Leadership Thema - gemeinsam gegen den Gender Visibility Gap’. 📣 Medienberichte in der Schweiz handeln zu 72% von Männern. Laut dem Global Media Monitoring Project 2020 liegt der Anteil weltweit bei 75%. Daher braucht es mehr echte und diverse Rollenmodelle, um in den Medien die Realität repräsentieren zu können. Die vom Medienunternehmen Ringier lanciert Initiative EqualVoice setzt sich für die gleichberechtigte Sichtbarkeit von Frauen und Männern in den Medien ein. Die Initiative steht im Einklang mit dem UN Global Compact, der Gleichberechtigung und die Förderung von Frauen in Führungspositionen als einen zentralen Schwerpunkt der UNGC Forward Faster Initiative festlegt. Freuen Sie sich auf interessante Impulse von Annabella Dr. Bassler Bassler, CFO, Ringier und Initiatorin von EqualVoice und Antonio Hautle, Executive Director, UN Global Compact Network Switzerland & Liechtenstein. ➡️Die Veranstaltung ist offen und kostenlos für alle Interessierten: https://lnkd.in/eUyi5uwv #UnitingBusiness #TenPrinciples #GlobalGoalsLocalBusiness #Equality #Gleichberechtigung #Social #ForwardFaster

Companies are increasingly challenged to improve traceability beyond tier 1 in their upstream supply chains. The complexity of supply chains, especially in high-risk areas, makes this a daunting task when conducting human rights due diligence.
