Achieve More Together:
Empowering Women, Promoting Sustainability
The Goal:
Representation of female talent at top level
Companies face particular challenges - including undesirable feedback effects - in ensuring the satisfactory representation of women at top level. The establishment of the cross-company initiative Women into Leadership (IWiL) is intended to counteract this.
The Task:
Accompaniment on the way to the top
The aim of the initiative is - from the various categories: Business, culture, media, science, medicine, society, etc. - to attract top personalities as members who, as personal mentors, accompany highly qualified and successful women on their way to the top as part of a mentoring program.
The implementation:
30+ top women per year for the top level
An important part of our work is the high-profile presentation of at least 30 outstanding women per year. In this way, we want to follow their path to the top in the long term and make them visible.
