This landscaping study researched the drivers of company investment in increasing women’s participation, focusing on evidence for the impact of company policies, practices, and programs. More specifically the report: provides an overview of the current status of private sector engagement on WEE; highlights the key drivers compelling businesses to engage in WEE; presents the opportunities for increasing women’s participation in key industries, including financial services; information and communications technology; consumer products; health care; and other “legacy industries,” tourism, and transportation; and organizes company policies, practices, and programs that increase the equitable participation of women in leadership, operations, and supply chains into five typologies (i.e., strategic approaches, workforce, leadership, asset leverage, and external engagement).
