Essential Support Mechanisms to Develop Female Leaders in Sustainable Procurement
Written by Katie Saha, Senior Manager of Learning and Partner Engagement, SPLC
A common conversation in many organisations is addressing the global gender gaps, especially when taking a stance on advocating for women in the workplace. Although the rate of progression has improved year over year, there are still crucial changes that must be made in order to continue to bridge the gap for women.
In a report by SupplyChainBrain, 41% of the procurement workforce are women but only 26% of those women hold titles in executive leadership. Furthermore, only 25% of women in sustainability positions are occupied by women. That being said, organisations must look internally to ensure that all women have equal opportunities to develop and advance in the global workforce, especially in sustainable procurement.
