Foreign Policy’s new report: Women as Levers of Change is a study examining women’s inclusion & impact across 14 legacy industries (including mining and coal, separated here). The research reveals positive correlation between gender diversity and environmental, social & governance ratings. It spotlights steps to mobilize women’s transformational capacity in male-dominated sectors.
You may remember that we came to you during the research phase and FP talked to a number of you. Thank you for contributing.
