CYPRUS: PwC people take action for gender equality

A series of activities to take place in the framework of PwC’s Global Diversity Week to support HeForShe

As part of a series of events last week on diversity and inclusion, PwC is ramping up its efforts to support HeForShe, the United Nations Women campaign to mobilise 1 billion men and boys around the world for gender equality.
PwC’s Global Diversity Week consists of a series of events to energise and engage its 195,000 people so that everyone at PwC comprehends the organisation’s business case for diversity, appreciates that it is a priority and understands what he or she can personally do to become even more inclusive.

During the week, PwC people all around the world, including Cyprus, had the opportunity to engage with PwC’s leaders in discussions about diversity. The initiative was implemented in collaboration with UN Women, the United Nations entity dedicated to gender equality and the empowerment of women
Dennis Nally, Chairman of PwC International, says: “Building a more diverse and inclusive workplace is not an easy task but we are absolutely committed to it. Global Diversity Week is one of the ways we are putting this into action.”

Aware of the benefits diversity has for the organisation, PwC has been implementing a series of activities in favour of promoting equality. As a testimony to the organisation’s timeless efforts, the Chairman of PwC International Dennis Nally was recently declared IMPACT 10x10x10 champion– making PwC one of the first 10 corporations around the world committing to take action to achieve gender equality.
