The Global Gender Equity Committee

The Global Gender Equity Committee is open to all colleagues around the globe, regardless of gender identity, and is currently comprised of colleagues from Brazil, France, Mexico, UAE, UK, and USA. The group meets monthly and plans programming to help advance our gender equity inclusion goals. The primary focus of the group over the past year was to promote gender equity through information and education, supporting gender equity ERG launches, and consulting the business around employee policies and practices related to gender equity.
