Registration for the CEBDS Female Leadership Award has closed, designed to recognize actions, women and companies that develop initiatives that contribute to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). In this third edition of the award, CEBDS adds a new category that will reward social projects aimed at empowering and training women for leadership. All registered social projects that meet the requirements of the notice will be presented to associated companies and may be “adopted” for a period of 12 months.
The other categories are the same as in previous years: Associated Companies, which will reward three executives; New Leaders Initiative, which will reward two companies that develop initiatives to train and train new female leaders; and Popular Vote Category, which will recognize a female leader spontaneously nominated by the public, including representatives from the private sector, third sector or government.
According to the president of CEBDS, Marina Grossi, the award was designed to boost compliance in Brazil with SDG 5, which aims to achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls by 2030. “It is an opportunity to recognize women leaders of companies that contribute to achieving the SDGs and people and projects that dedicate efforts to promoting gender equality. This is one of the great challenges of our society that must be taken on by everyone”, he highlights.
