Marel signs Women‘s Empowerment Principles
Marel is set to join Deloitte and Rio Tinto Alcan as the first companies in Iceland to sign the the Women‘s Empowerment Principles, a joint global initiative of the UN Development Fund for Women (UNIFEM) and the UN Global Compact. The signing will take place at a breakfast meeting organized by UNIFEM Iceland on Thursday, 25 November, where the initiative will be introduced.
The Women's Empowerment Principles offer practical guidance to business and the private sector on how to empower women in the workplace, marketplace and community. The Principles are designed to support companies in reviewing existing policies and practices — or establishing new ones — to realize women’s empowerment.
The private sector is a key partner in efforts to advance gender equality and empower women. Current research demonstrating that gender diversity helps business perform better signals that self-interest and common interest can come together. Yet, ensuring the inclusion of women’s talents, skills and energies — from executive offices to the factory floor and the supply chain — requires intentional actions and deliberate policies.
