11th December 2020, London: The GSMA was honoured to receive the 2020 G7-EU Women’s Empowerment Principles Award in the Best Network Category this week, at a high-level forum hosted by UN Women.
The award was appointed by a Youth Jury of young women who judged the GSMA against three criteria: Innovation, Transformation and Impact.
Accepting the award on behalf of the GSMA, Louise Easterbrook, Chief Financial Officer, shared, “The GSMA’s commitment to gender equality in the digital space has been long standing and active. Most recently the Principles have provided a guiding light for our ‘Diversity and Inclusion Action Plan’ and ‘Inclusive Language Guide’, improving our recruitment, retention and progression of women and minority groups. On behalf of the GSMA and our members, my sincere thanks to the G7-EU and the UN for this recognition and for ensuring gender equality is on corporate agendas globally.”
