The APPG’s inaugural report on the ‘S’ pillar of ESG addresses gender equality in both entrepreneurship and the corporate world, drawing attention to the importance of raising awareness, encouraging disclosures of disaggregated data, and ensuring the materiality of gender equality and broader diversity meet with appropriate corporate governance provisions. Other key themes include: ESG frameworks for tracking progress and meeting investor expectations, internal talent pipelines to ensure more women rise up the corporate ladder and into the boardroom, and fairer treatment for female entrepreneurs with the aid of ESG practices and principles.
