NextBillion - An Initiative of the William Davidson Institute at the University of Michigan

Are you an impact investor or a mission-driven company aiming to increase financial and social performance through new levers? Are you trying to decrease gender-based stereotypes and bias in your business? Are you looking to implement more gender-inclusive corporate practices and procedures to improve operations and stakeholder well-being? If you answered yes to any of these questions, then this session is for you:

In a project spanning two years, AHL Venture Partners, PowerGen, Java Foods, Value for Women and the William Davidson Institute at the University of Michigan collaborated to deliver and measure the business, financial, and social benefits of gender-inclusive technical assistance engagements. In this expert-led session, we will explore how to build business-first, gender-smart programming for HR and marketing divisions and how to monitor its success. In this open dialogue, we’ll transparently discuss both challenges and successful frameworks and tools that you can apply to your business or across your portfolio.
