ABOUT THE WOMEN’S EMPOWERMENT PRINCIPLES

The Women’s Empowerment Principles (WEPs)
guide businesses on how to promote genderequality and empower women in the workplace,marketplace and community. Jointly established by

are underpinned by international labour standards
and human rights and by the recognition thatbusinesses have an important role in promoting
gender equality and women’s empowerment.
Adopting the seven principles is the best way thatbusinesses can deliver on the ambitions for genderequality and women’s empowerment as outlinedin the 2030 Agenda on Sustainable Development
and in the 17 SDGs.

KEY MESSAGESWHAT ARE THE WOMEN’S EMPOWERMENT PRINCIPLES?
The Women’s Empowerment Principles (WEPs) are a set of Principles offering guidance tobusiness on how to promote gender equality and women’s empowerment in the workplace,marketplace and community. The WEPs are informed by international labour and humanrights standards and grounded in the recognition that businesses have a stake in, and a
responsibility for, gender equality and women’s empowerment.
The WEPs are a primary vehicle for corporate delivery on gender equality dimensions of
the 2030 Agenda and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. By joining the
WEPs community, the CEO signals commitment to this agenda at the highest levels of
the company and to work collaboratively in multistakeholder networks to foster businesspractices that empower women.

WHY DO WE NEED EQUALITY IN THE WORKPLACE?
To uphold human rights and be inclusive, just and fair: It is really as simple as that. Genderequality in the workplace, marketplace and community advances the Agenda 2030 on
Sustainable Development. It is good for society; it is good for the economy; and it benefits
everyone.
To improve corporate performance: Women’s equal participation at every level ofthe company – from the factory floor to the corporate board – leads to better financial
performance, and raises returns on investment, market share and stocks.
To attract and retain talent: Companies with fair HR systems that respond to both women’s
and men’s needs lead to inclusive recruitment practices, improved retention rates, reduced
absenteeism and turnover rates, and an equitable promotion system.
To attract investments: Investors know that companies that promote gender equality are moreproductive, more profitable and maintain a positive reputation. They are holding companies tomore rigorous standards and choosing to invest in sustainable companies that balance purpose
and profit and meet the needs of both shareholder and stakeholders.

WEPs WELCOME PACKAGE | PAGE 12

To increase innovation capacity: A diverse workforce fosters diverse ideas and generates
dynamics that encourage creativity and leads to innovation.
To diversify the supplier base: A diversified pool of suppliers enhances supplier availability
and security; promotes innovation through the entrance of new products, services andsolutions; drives competition; and increases market penetration and access to new markets.
Investing in and engaging with women-owned businesses in corporate supply chains also
boosts the reputation of companies among their stakeholders and shareholders.
To meet the needs and demands of consumers: Increasingly, consumers are demanding
products and services from companies with transparent, responsible business practices
that advance gender equality. Women influence the majority of purchasing preferences anddecisions. A diverse workforce and supplier base, representing the composition of its consumer
base, can help a company meet the product and service needs of their consumers.
To end harmful gender-based stereotypes in advertisement and outreach materials: An
unstereotyped world is no longer only a social imperative, but a business one. Advertisements
which portray women respectfully as progressive and modern, authentic and multi-dimensional
helps advance gender equality while improving customer perception and brand reputation.
To fully integrate into communities: Companies that undertake community consultations
with local leaders – women and men – establish strong ties and programmes that benefit allcommunity members and advance gender equality and sustainable development.

*For a comprehensive list of resources, visit www.weps.org/resources.
**If you are engaging your business partners on gender equality issues, make sure to invite them to adopt the
WEPs by signing the CEO Statement of Support and complete the online form.

PROMOTING THE WEPs
As UN Women and the UN Global Compact, we
encourage all our partners and stakeholders to help
promote the WEPs signature and implementation
throughout the world.
For those eligible to sign the WEPs CEO Statementof Support, we encourage you to make their WEPs
commitment visible. There are many benefits

to showcasing your status as a WEPs signatory.
Consumers, workers, investors and shareholders willknow that your organisation has made it a businesspriority to achieve the highest standards of genderequality and women’s empowerment and that yourcompany stands in solidarity with the United Nations
to end gender inequality in the workplace, marketplaceand community.

ABOUT THE WEPs LOGO
The WEPs logo has a clean line above the name tosymbolize the signature line of the CEO Statement ofSupport. The line embodies a clear place to start yourcompany’s WEPs journey to achieving gender equality
and women’s empowerment .

USING THE “IN SUPPORT OF” LOGO
Maintaining consistency in the display of the WEPs
name and logo by the UN Women and the UN Global
Compact is an important aspect of the WEPs outreachstrategy. Accordingly, where supporting organizations
incorporate the WEPs name and logos in theirmaterials for the permitted uses outlined above, they
are asked to strictly adhere to the following guidelines
regarding the reproduction and display of the WEPs
name and logos. The logo must be black on lightbackgrounds and white on dark backgrounds.
The “In Support of” logo may be used by the WEPs
signatories for any promotional activity aimed atincreasing awareness of the WEPs, provided they
adhere to these Guidelines.

This means that the usage should make clearthat its main purpose is to support the mandateof UN Women, UN Global Compact and the WEPs.
The primary focus should be the WEPs and not therelationship between the WEPs and the company
or the services or products of the company. In short,
it is an opportunity to promote the WEPs themselves
and encourage others to sign; and not an opportunity
for favourable publicity for the company becauseof its signature of the WEPs. See below for a few
sample use-cases.
In all materials on which the WEPs logo or WEPs
“In Support of” logo is used, the logo must appear
in isolation, uncluttered by competing images. The
logo should appear horizontally. The logo should
not be used as part of a sentence or word phrase or
associated with any non-related symbols or graphicalelements. The Endorser logo must not be used outof context where it is unclear to which organizationis the supporter of the WEPs.
To use the “In Support of” logo, the signatories
must agree to the below Terms and Conditions andcomplete and sign the Agreement Form here. Oncethe agreement is completed, a high-resolution PNG
and AI files will be provided.
