Why Climate Action Needs a Gender Focus

MORE FROM BCG

Sally Gilligan, Chief Growth Transformation Officer, Gap Inc.: We’ve committed to some pretty significant goals through 2025. By setting the goals, we also put in place measurement and we also put in place feedback loops, because I won’t tell you it’s all perfect. It takes work to go and build these programs. But part of those goals and one that’s very important to me is parity at the supervisor level. And part of the way to continue to lift women up is to ensure that they have a seat at the table. Anouk Heilen, Global Sustainability Director, Social Equity and Inclusion, Unilever: We’ve looked in our consumer base and we know that women control 64% of consumer spending and they account for more than 70% of sales. So it makes sense for us to invest in women. The ambition goes way back, we started in 2010 with the Unilever sustainable living plan, which was based on a firm belief that Unilever can only prosper if the communities that we serve prosper as well. Alexandra Palt, Chief Corporate Responsibility Officer, L'Oréal Group: You cannot be a profitable performing company without thinking about your contribution to society, your responsibility in this society about women empowerment, about an inclusive and more equal society. L'Oréal is the living proof that those go hand in hand. Zineb Sqalli, Partner, BCG: Women are more likely to be displaced by climate change. If we don’t take a proactive gender lens in the green economy, then not only climate change will have a negative impact on women, but also climate action could have a negative impact on gender equality.
