EDGE Certification

Info

EDGE --Economic Dividends for Gender Equality-- is the global business certification standard for gender equality.

Geschichte

MEASURE:
Companies can measure their progress in closing the corporate gender gap by means of an easy-to-use, online assessment tool which tracks key outcome indicators and the key policies and
practices that drive the change.

EXCHANGE:
Companies become members of a global community of forward-looking organisations for best practice sharing and benchmarking to compare progress internally, across different countries of operation, or externally, against other companies applying the tool in an anonymous, aggregate way.

GET REWARDED:
Companies get ready to become certified for their commitment to workplace gender equality to the global standard independently set by The Gender Equality Project Foundation. Companies can
then progress through three stages of certification
– Assess, Move and Lead – in their journey to
achieve excellence in workplace gender equality.
