Women's
Empowerment Principles
The seven principles
Promote the strengthening of women's
leadership in the workplace and in the
productive chain of companies: this
is the goal of the Women's Empower-
ment Principles (WEPs), a joint initia-
tive of the UN Women and the Global
Compact that lays out seven steps to
leverage gender equality in the busi-
ness world. In 2021, we received an
honorable mention in our first partici-
pation in the WEPS Brazil Award, which
acknowledges companies that share
WEPS and encourage gender equality.

causes set in 2021.
