Learn. Support. Empower. 

Gender equality in the workplace remains out of balance, often due to a lack of effective tools focused on making real change happen. But for an organisation to reach its full potential, recruiting and retaining a gender-balanced workforce is critical.

At Bristol Women in Business Charter, we provide the goals, framework, and ongoing support for businesses to truly embrace diversity, increase representation, and empower women to thrive in their careers.

Be a part of our inspiring community dedicated to driving strategic growth and productivity through a gender-equal future.

Join the business journey to gender equality.

We have just launched our annual impact report, in the past year alone they have shown remarkable progress, including:
​
  • Our signatories' median hourly rate pay gap improved to 6.96%—compared to the UK average which increased to 13.1%
  • Multiple organisations achieved gender-balanced leadership teams with at least 40% women
  • Companies like Barcan+Kirby demonstrated that flexibility and seniority are compatible, with two-thirds of their board working part-time
  • Bristol City Council achieved a precise 50/50 gender split at director level
  • Simitive have 60% female representation on their board

These aren't isolated successes—they represent a quiet revolution happening across our city, dismantling outdated myths about leadership, flexibility, and who belongs in the boardroom.

We'd encourage you to take some time to review the progress of our signatories - on the link below.

"Investing in women is a matter of smart economics as well as human rights. It’s proven: the returns will be significant, both on the balance sheet and across society. So one can ask: what are we waiting for?"
