Anniversary Event and Annual Impact Report 2021
|
On the 24th of March 2021 we invited our signatories and the public to join us for our anniversary event and the launch of our annual impact report. Read our report here.
This event gave the opportunity to hear about the advancements and progression that has been made by our signatories on the 7 goals of the charter and hear from them on the impact this is having within their organisations. We had inspiring speakers including, Jenna Holliday, a gender specialist advising on policy and programming specifically around labour migration and the world of work; and Thangam Debbonaire MP, who is Member of Parliament for Bristol West and Labour's Shadow Secretary for State for Housing. |

Aims of the Charter
Our belief is that businesses cannot reach their full potential if they fail to recruit and retain a gender-balanced workforce. The Bristol Women in Business Charter aims to recognise and support businesses in Bristol and the surrounding areas that are progressing towards that aim. This will help accelerate the pace of change to the benefit for women, the businesses they work in and the communities they live in. The CIC holds us to account on delivering that and makes it more achievable.
Making progress towards gender equality
We require all signatories to commit to making progress towards one or more of the goals of the Charter. We know every business is different, so you can set your own targets, reflecting what you believe your business can achieve over the next 12 months.
Becoming a signatory with usTo become a signatory of the Women in Business Charter, we need some details about your business.

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? |
