PwC Calls on All its People to Support #HeForShe and Take Action for Gender Equality
PwC’s Global Diversity Leader Agns Hussherr says: “We’re taking a big step forward by calling on our men and women to join the HeForShe movement. For PwC, HeForShe is about making real change by helping men and women work together to realise everyone’s full potential.”
At the World Economic Forum Annual Meeting in Davos, Switzerland in January 2015, the Chairman of PwC International Dennis Nally became an IMPACT 10x10x10 champion– making PwC one of the first 10 corporations around the world committing to take action to achieve gender equality.
Global Diversity Week
Today marks the start of PwC’s second Global Diversity Week, a series of events to energise and engage its 195,000 people with the aim that everyone at PwC understands PwC’s business case for diversity, understands that it’s a priority and understands what he or she can personally do to become even more inclusive.
During the week, PwC people all around the world will have the opportunity to engage with PwC’s leaders in discussions about diversity.
Dennis Nally, Chairman of PwC International, says: “Building a more diverse and inclusive workplace is not an easy task but we’re absolutely committed to it. Global Diversity Week is one of the ways we are putting this into action.”
