Overview
World Benchmarking Alliance (WBA) is a non-profit that works with a network of businesses, industry leaders and other non-profits to create a series of benchmarks assessing 2,000 of the world’s most influential companies.
WBA has been successful in moving companies to change and disclose policies in areas such as Human Rights (take a look at their Corporate Human Rights Benchmark).
Our support will help them build a new ‘Gender Benchmark’ to measure company behaviour, ensure accountability, and mobilise stakeholder engagement around gender issues. Funding will help WBA scale the benchmark to 2,000 keystone companies, while actively engaging with these companies on gender.
By filling the data gaps and coordinating stakeholders around the issues that surface from the benchmark, we can understand and drive company performance on gender, including their policies around unpaid care (topics such as parental leave, childcare support, eldercare, and flexible working options).
