Each year, 2,500 global leaders congregate in Davos, Switzerland forthe World Economic Forum’s annual meeting in order to set prioritiesfor improving the state of the world through public-privatecooperation. This year, the Forum’s primary focus was the FourthIndustrial Revolution – i.e. the transformative power of moderntechnology.

As in previous years, women composed just a small number of WorldEconomic Forum (WEF) attendees and participants, a total of 18percent – a fact that brought frustration to some, includingSheryl Sandberg, the COO of Facebook and author of bestseller“Lean In”. Sandberg pointed out in her WEF address that “men stillrun the world – and it’s not going that well.”

Fortunately, the lack of female representation didn’t stop genderequality from being a popular topic in Davos this year. One bigagenda item this year was the exclusion of women from thetechnological revolution. For example, there are currently 200million more men with access to the internet than women. And in manycountries, there is also a gender gap in phone ownership, which issometimes as wide as 45 percent, as is the case in Niger. This digitaldivide means that many women are facing barriers to employment,education, health and independence.

Another way WEF addressed gender equality this year was throughan event hosted by HeForShe, a United Nations gender equalitycampaign – of which Tupperware Brands is proud to be a key partner– that encourages men to participate in the movement for women’sempowerment. At the event, actress and UN Goodwill Ambassador

Emma Watson announced the next steps of HeForShe – namely,to engage businesses, governments and universities to make“concrete commitments to gender equality.” Watson also moderated apanel on how the private sector can support the push for genderequality, during which several CEO's of global corporations releasedthe first HeForShe Parity Report. This report provides data on fourmetrics at each of the ten companies: the share of women in theircompanies, the percentage of women in senior leadership roles, thepercentage of female board representation and the percentage offemale new hires. Tupperware Brands CEO Rick Goings was one ofthe corporate leaders who participated – alongside other globalcompanies like Barclays, Twitter and Unilever.

Many other global leaders expressed their commitment to empoweringwomen at Davos. One of the highlights was a continued crusade forgender equality led by Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. Hedelivered an inspiring speech at a session on gender parity where hedeclared that while he’s working to ensure gender equality in Canada,he’s also working to make sure he raises his sons to be feminists.

Tupperware Brands is excited by the conversations on genderequality that took place at the World Economic Forum this year andhonored to be a part of the global dialogue.
