[Postponed] The Corporate Approach to Gender Lens

The prospect of achieving attractive returns from taking a gender lens approach to investing are sometimes seen as indirect and uncertain, both for companies and investment institutions. However, evidence is growing that using a gender lens when analysing, planning, strategizing and making decisions in the business means working towards a path to sustainability and growth, both in the short and the long term.

Companies are also beginning to appreciate the importance of taking a gender lens approach as part of their environmental, social and governance (ESG) engagement. This is already apparent in companies in which private institutional investors have made commitments in Myanmar.

In this session, a selection of portfolio companies from MPE&VCA member investors will tell you:

· How viewing investment decisions through a gender lens has improved their social impact metrics

· The difference in business growth after applying gender lens investing (GLI) principles

· The immediate benefits from adopting GLI

· Direct feedback and experiences from applying a gender lens
