A Message from Our CEO, Rebecca Fries

Here is the reality: Gender-balanced and diverse businesses outperform their peers.

They experience higher profits, lower turnover, and are better able to access investment.

SMEs make up 90% of businesses and 70% of jobs worldwide, yet few embrace gender inclusion.

By inspiring action, we can unlock immense opportunities for millions of women worldwide.

That is why we launched the Inclusive Action Hub

The Inclusive Action Hub is an exciting new project by Value for Women, launching to create more and better opportunities for millions of women in emerging economies—as leaders, employees, and consumers.

Our campaign #SMEsForWomen launches the Inclusive Action Hub, inviting eligible enterprises to win a cash award and participate in other initiatives that celebrate SMEs implementing gender inclusion in their businesses.

We are also launching our first pilot in Mexico through in-person events, practical tools, and peer connections.
