Description

The Inclusion Committee, formed from the merger of the Women and DEI Committees, is dedicated to sharing best inclusive practices in the workplace. Our focus extends to women, LGBTIQ+ individuals, persons with disabilities, neurodivergent persons, and other marginalized groups. Through awareness-raising efforts, we aim to foster allyship and champion inclusivity in both personal and professional spaces.

In line with our mission, we invite you to join us in celebrating International Women's Day 2025. This year's theme, "For All Women in Corporates: Rights. Equality. Empowerment," underscores our commitment to inclusivity for all genders and marginalized communities across social, economic, and political contexts.

This project aims to increase women's representation and leadership in business, encouraging companies to set and meet ambitious corporate targets for gender equality and supports the transition to sustainable economies by promoting decent work and social protection for all, ensuring that no one is left behind in corporate environments. Join us for an inspiring event that celebrates the power of allyship and empowerment, creating a space where all voices are heard, and everyone feels a true sense of belonging. Featuring dynamic panel speakers, this engaging session will provide valuable insights and meaningful discussions. Don’t miss this opportunity to connect, learn, and embrace inclusivity together. We look forward to your participation!
