Here is the reality: Gender-balanced and diverse businesses outperform their peers. They experience higher profits, lower turnover, and better access to investment.
The Inclusive Action Hub is an exciting new project by Value for Women, launched to create more and better opportunities for millions of women in emerging economies—as leaders, employees, and consumers.
The Inclusive Action Awards recognises SMEs and aspiring enterprises for their efforts in gender inclusion.
Inclusive action for a business means making intentional changes—like hiring more women, creating supportive workplaces, and developing products that serve women and other underrepresented groups. These actions create safer, more rewarding career opportunities, improve access to valuable products and services, and build lasting partnerships, all of which benefit women and other underserved communities.
Thank you to all applicants for your interest in the Global Awards!
The Global Awards journey has been incredible. We've been truly inspired by hundreds of SMEs—from Kenya to India—who are creating more and better opportunities for women.
What’s next?
Our jury is now reviewing the applications, and we’ll announce the winner and finalists during an online ceremony in June.
