This is significantly lower than the 48% average for the top 100 French companies, and 50% for the top 100 British companies. Thus, indicating that there is still a long way to go to achieve workplace gender equality in The Netherlands. The report draws a similar conclusion when it comes to addressing gender equality in global supply chains: \u201cTwo-thirds of the companies offer transparency on social supply chain topics, but we found very little data on how the companies are approaching gender equality in the supply chain&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;While we have found that Dutch companies are becoming more transparent and performing better on gender equality in their workforce, we did not find evidence that this is being extended to the supply chain.\u201d Yet, it is also important that women workers\u2019 rights are protected in global supply chains.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>There are approximately 190 million women working in global supply chains<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>While their jobs may offer women some economic independence, if social standards go unmanaged, the reality can include low wages, excessive hours, unsafe conditions, and sexual harassment.
