We’re excited to invite you to a members-only meeting to launch the 2025 Working Groups on April 30 from 4:00-5:00 PM BST / 11:00 AM-12:00 PM EDT / 8:00-9:00 AM PDT*.

During this session, you’ll hear directly from RISE members as they share their reflections from the 2024 Women’s Advancement and Leadership Working Group. Discover how key insights can inform and strengthen corporate strategies and commitments moving forward.

We hope you can join us for this conversation as we kick off another impactful year of collaboration and leadership, promoting gender equality in the industry.

Women’s Advancement and Leadership

Many businesses set targets for promoting women from low-paid operator positions to supervisory roles. However, despite commitment, these targets often remain unmet and too narrow.  

To co-design interventions that address key challenges and improve women’s prospects and agency, RISE consulted 132 women and men workers in India and Bangladesh and more than 80 industry stakeholders.

During this session, RISE members will highlight successes, identify gaps, and provide practical examples of how companies can incorporate insights into their strategies and commitments to support women’s advancement across their supply chains.

*Due to speaker availability, this will be a single time zone session. We will share highlights with those who are unable to attend.
