Description/achievement of initiative
Transformation iniciative to involve chairmen and CEOs to improve the number of women in their organizations. Our aspiration is to reach 2020 having at least 30% women on boards and executive comitees of IPSA and IGPA Chilean companies. We are challenging CEOs and chairmen in such companies to accelerate progress by voluntary agreements.
We recognize that better gender balance leads to better results and that cuotas are not the best arpproach. We have an agenda to reach this aspiration and we are implementing it in colaboration with various stake holders such as business universities, women empowerment ONGs, Media, Head Hunters, Government, etc.
