WEPs GUIDANCE NOTE

How to Create/Edit a Company Profile Page

INTRODUCTION
This step-by-step guide is designed to help Women’s Empowerment Principles (WEPs) signatories register an accounton the WEPs website that enables you to edit your company’s profile page.
The company profile page establishes each signatory as a member of the WEPs community. It provides an opportunity
to share what your company is doing to advance gender equality and women’s empowerment in the workplace,marketplace and community.
You can only create or edit a company profile page once your company has been approved as a WEPs signatory. If youhave not yet submitted your WEPs application, please follow the steps here.
For new signatories, the company profile page is automatically created once the application is approved and published
online. If your company joined the WEPs prior to April 2021, you will need to create your company profile page. In bothcases, you would need to register an account to create or edit your company profile page. The company profile pageis based on the information you provided in the WEPs online application form.

The following information are automatically published:• Full CEO name, photo and quote• General company information: e.g. ownership, number of employees,
UN Global Compact membership• Industry and location

Please note that the information provided on the three baseline indicators will not be automatically published.
However, there is an option, once you edit your company profile page, to keep this information private or public:• Percentage of women employees• Percentage of women in management• Percentage of women on boards

The three baseline indicators may not be changed.
