3 Welcome, to our annual International Women’s Day event

At Women Ahead, we are proud to celebrate International Women’s Day. We witnessed a dramatic butterfly effect after last year’s event, not just on the day itself, but throughout 2019. The Gender Balance Summit now sits at the heart of the ‘Summit Series by Moving Ahead’. The Summit Series – an annual calendar of three events celebrating International Women’s Day, National Inclusion Week and International Men’s Day – has put truly diverse speakers and stories on stage and camera, and honours our belief in the power of storytelling by sharing them with individuals and organisations worldwide.

@Women_Ahead | @_movingahead | #EACHFOREQUAL | #GBS2020

4 For me, highlights of the Summit Series 2019 were social justice campaigner Karl Lokko wowing the audience with poetry at the Gender Balance Summit 2019 (he’s appearing this year alongside ‘The woman who took on the gangs’ – Pastor Mimi Asher). Founder of disability inclusion campaign The Valuable 500, Caroline Casey, bringing the audience to tears at the Inclusion & Diversity Summit for National Inclusion Week in September. And transgender activist Jake Graf sharing his hopes for his future children at the Agency & Advocacy Summit for International Men’s Day in November (his wife Hannah Graf is sharing her thoughts on equality for everyone today).

These stories and many more, as well as the incredible feedback we receive from the participants to each summit, never fail to remind me of what, at Women Ahead and Moving Ahead, we hold to be true: that stories have a unique power to create learning, connection and, above all, inclusion. My wish is that we all take action on what we see here today – action towards including others in any way we can.

In the spirit of inclusion, today’s event is both live and digital – so whether you are watching at the beautiful Royal Institution, at an internal event or even at your desk later in the year – we hope that you enjoy it.

Please save the date for our next summit on 28th September 2020. I would love to see you there.

5 It gives me great pleasure that once again the 30% club is partnering with Women Ahead to celebrate International Women’s Day with this fantastic summit.

Today you will hear from an incredible selection of men and women who perfectly represent this year’s IWD theme of #EachforEqual by actively choosing to ‘challenge stereotypes, fight bias, broaden perceptions, improve situations and celebrate women's achievements’.

This theme resonates perfectly with the 30% Club. From the beginning it has been largely men as Chairmen and CEOs, as allies of women, that made the commitment to increase representation of women on their boards and in their executive teams. The last 12 months have seen incredible progress: in the UK, the FTSE 350 has now achieved more than 30% women on boards and the FTSE 100 is up to one third.

In February 2019 the Government announced that FTSE 100 companies have hit the 33% target for gender diversity on boards, one year ahead of time

@Women_Ahead | @_movingahead | #EACHFOREQUAL | #GBS2020

6 One third of all board positions in the FTSE 100 There is of course much more to be done. We still only companies have a handful of women CEOs and Chairs in the FTSE are now female, 100 and beyond. Around the world, from Brazil to Japan, to China and the gulf countries, the target of 30% is a up from just long way off. Artificial Intelligence has incredible potential 12.5% in 2011 to makes things better, but algorithms and data are still found riddled with bias and women play a limited role in their design.

The world so far has been designed without women in mind and without women involved. With this year’s theme of #EachForEqual I hope we all draw inspiration to work tirelessly for a gender balanced world, a world that works better for everyone.

Ann Cairns Global co-Chair, 30% Club; Executive Vice Chairman, Mastercard

About the 30% Club The 30% Club campaign was set up by Dame Helena Morrissey DBE in 2010 with the aim of achieving a minimum of 30% female representation on FTSE 100 boards. That target was reached in September 2018, yet there is still much more work to do to achieve better gender balance at the top of businesses and throughout organisations. Now under the joint leadership of Ann Cairns and Brenda Trenowden CBE, as Global Co-Chairs of the campaign, the 30% Club is focused on supporting more women into senior management roles and taking action to reach the campaign’s 2020 pipeline goal for every FTSE 100 company to have 30% of its senior management roles held by women.
