Gender Equality in The Netherlands: A FOCUS ON SUPPLY CHAINS

Equileap was commissioned by Women Win, through their women’s economic resilience programme Win-Win Strategies, to conduct an assessment of the top 100 publicly listed companies in The Netherlands, ranking them based on a variety of gender equality indicators. The information below highlights the key findings related to companies’ efforts in ensuring gender equality throughout the supply chain. This research is part of the “Building Bridges for Women’s Economic Empowerment” programme, funded by the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

The data found is a solid starting point for action in these unprecedented times. It opens an opportunity for companies to imagine and take concrete steps towards a great correction in addressing gender inequality within The Netherlands’ business sector and throughout supply chains.
