It’s time to start talking about gender-responsive practices in procurement. Why? Because it’s not just an ethical responsibility; it’s a practical business strategy. Given the benefits derived from empowering women, gender-responsive procurement is a significant yet often overlooked opportunity for companies to build resilient partnerships and drive meaningful change.
Looking at the Asia-Pacific region, where economies are striving for renewed growth and inclusivity, now is the time for actionable innovation. Prioritising women-owned and women-led businesses in supply chains offers a timely strategic lever to accelerate gender equality while fostering sustainable and inclusive prosperity. At Sweef Capital, we have worked hard to not only adopt this strategy but to influence others to commit to gender equality with the same energy. As part of our Gender ROI ᵀᴹ Insight series, we are launching a new series that highlights the tangible benefits of gender-smart policies and practices, demonstrated by our valued partners and suppliers.
Seasoned changemakers know the hardest part of creating real impact is turning words into measurable actions. In this Insight Series, we will highlight those who are truly walking the talk. We kick off the series by showcasing how we have built an ecosystem where women-owned and women-led businesses thrive, resulting in a procurement strategy that isn’t just about ethics – it’s smart risk management that fosters resilient, long-term partnerships.
See how Sweef Capital is leading the way in transforming procurement into a lever for gender equality and sustainable growth.
