Published on March 8, 2023

We’re thrilled to announce that Phil Wieland, CEO of Diversey, today, International Women’s Day, has signed the LEAD Network CEO Gender Parity Pledge demonstrating the commitment to accelerate gender parity further and to prioritize inclusion in the value chain of the European retail and consumer goods sector. 

Phil Wieland says, “At Diversey, our purpose is to go beyond clean to take care of what's precious. For us, that means taking care of life, people, businesses, growing industries, and the planet we call home. Our people are our most precious asset, and "taking care of what's precious" is about the success of our people and our commitment to fostering a diverse and inclusive work environment where every employee at Diversey can thrive and reach their full potential as part of the Diversey Experience. We are a proud partner of LEAD Network, a great source of inspiration for our journey toward gender equality.”

On behalf of all the members of LEAD Network, we thank Phil Wieland and the Diversey team for their commitment in driving forward our mission to advance women in consumer goods and retail.

The LEAD Network CEO Gender Parity Pledge aims to rally the #CPG and #retail industry to advance #diversity and #inclusion within the workplace. The CEO 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. It aims for a significant increase in female representation and director level and above and to build a plan to achieve gender parity over the next decade.
