How can we integrate gender into net zero planning in supply chains?
Supported by

This Resource Kit looks at how businesses can integrate gender equality with climate change initiatives in their supply chains and how this can be critical to achieving net-zero emissions by 2050. Companies can integrate gender through supply chain mapping, incentivising suppliers, and investing in gender-responsive projects to enhance outcomes.

How can we measure women’s economic empowerment in supply chains?
Supported by

This Resource Kit focuses on measuring the impact of Women’s Economic Empowerment (WEE) in supply chains. It outlines initiatives and measures that businesses can adopt to empower women and improve gender equality in global supply chains. This starts with gender-disaggregated data and gender-sensitive audits to better understand and mitigate risks.

What is the care economy, and why does it matter in supply chains?
Supported by

This Resource Kit explores the barrier of unpaid care work to women’s advancement in professional roles. It provides guidance on why and how companies can address this alongside other gender equity issues within supply chains. By recognising, reducing, and redistributing unpaid care work, businesses can enhance gender equity and supply chain resilience.

Primark and the International Research Centre on Women (ICRW) partnered together to better understand male attitudes to gender equity in factories in India. Male managers’ perceptions shape the opportunities and barriers women face in advancing their careers. Understanding these attitudes helps organisations address deep-rooted biases that affect hiring, promotion, and workplace safety. For businesses, promoting gender equity is not only a matter of social responsibility but also improves productivity and worker satisfaction. Tackling gender-based violence and harassment (GBVH) and ensuring women have access to leadership roles is essential for long-term sustainability and growth in this sector. Speakers: Matthew Davidson, Senior Social Impact Executive, Primark Sue Tym, Social Impact Portfolio, Senior Manager, Primark Radhika Uppal, Gender and Development Specialist, International Centre for Research

It is well established that women and girls experience poverty in greater numbers than men and boys. This “feminization” of poverty presents itself in many forms, with women worse off when it comes to access to credit, land ownership and the impacts of climate change. But rather than seeing women as victims, a growing movement within the international development sector recognises them as the key to change.
