Gulf International Bank B.S.C. (GIB) recently announced that it has become a signatory to the Women’s Empowerment Principles (WEPs). Established by UN Women and UN Global Compact, WEPs are a set of principles offering guidance to businesses on how to advance gender equality and women’s empowerment.
By joining the WEPs community, GIB continues to advance its mission and support, across the GIB Group, the development, and advancement of women in the workplace and society. To drive the implementation of the WEPs, GIB has established a multi-stakeholder Working Group comprising members in the GIB Group’s offices in Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, UAE, and the UK.
The Working Group is responsible for ensuring that the GIB Group fosters and employs business practices that help deliver on the gender equality dimensions of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
