The LEAD Network CEO Gender Parity Pledge aims to rally the #CPG and #retail industry to advance #diversity and #inclusion within the workplace. The pledge outlines a specific set of actions CEOs will take to cultivate a trusting environment where courageous conversations about ways to create inclusive cultures truly are welcomed. Some of these actions are: educate employees about the negative impact of bias on retention, development, and advancement of women; Institute a diverse slating process committed to always selecting the best talent; and requiring 50% of those considered to be diverse and to continue to coach and mentor female & diverse employees, while also increasing sponsoring.
