By adopting business practices that include and support women as workers, consumers, producers and suppliers, the private sector can not only make an important contribution to the process of women’s economic empowerment, but also expand their market, achieve greater business efficiency, and improve their bottom line.
In this webinar, speakers from MarketShare Associates (MSA), the Arab Women’s Enterprise Fund (AWEF), and BSR discussed how a compelling business case can help firms to understand why women’s inclusion and empowerment is important for their mission and values, business model and stakeholders. MSA also shared diverse approaches, tools, data and metrics from the Practitioner Learning Brief, Working with the Private Sector to Empower Women: What to Measure and How to Build the Business Case for Change (2019), produced by MSA as part of the AWEF project.
